[Linux-gpib-general] almost one year since I'm unable to install linux-gpib on my gentoo

[Jakub L. <la...@vo...>]

Hi,

for almost whole year I am unable to install linux-gpib on my gentoo linux.

Since kernel was updated to 6.12 the packages (ebuilds) that are 
describing to the system how the linux-gpib(-kernel) sources are to be 
obtained and how to build them, are no longer able to build it.

For short while it was possible instead of the "stable" ebuild 
linux-gpib-4.3.6 to use linux-gpib-9999 which is set to fetch the top of 
the development git.

Now every attempt fails.

I am waiting for kernel update to the dream version containing the gpib 
drivers, but for many months nothing.

There is masked package of linux 6.16.8 but anything I can do including 
unmasking it leads not to bootable system.

I was hoping also for version 4.3.7 of the gpib suite will appear and 
solve it, but no ...

I know you can't support every distro there exist in this universe, but 
I honestly don't know what to do, so just complaining ...

There were years where no problem with installing linux-gpib were present.
