Keeping with the theme of ‘Gentoo is about choice” I’ve added the ability for users to include kdbus into their gentoo-sources kernel. \u00a0I wanted an easy way for gentoo users to test the patchset while maintaining the default installation of not having it at all.<\/p>\n
In order to include the patchset on your gentoo-sources you’ll need the following:<\/p>\n
1. A\u00a0kernel version >= 4.1.0-r1<\/p>\n
2. the ‘experimental’ use flag<\/p>\n
3. the ‘kdbus’ use flag<\/p>\n
I am not a systemd user, but from the ebuild it looks like if you build systemd with the ‘kdbus’ use flag it will use it.<\/p>\n
Please send all kdbus bugs upstream by emailing the developers and including linux-kernel@vger.kernel.org in the CC .<\/p>\n
Read as much as you can about kdbus before you decided to build it into your kernel. \u00a0There have been security concerns mentioned (warranted or not), so following the upstream patch review at lkml.org would probably be prudent.<\/p>\n
When a new version is released, wait a week before opening a bug. \u00a0Unless I am on vacation, I will most likely have it included before the week is out. Thanks!<\/p>\n
NOTE: This is not some kind of Gentoo endorsement of kdbus. \u00a0Nor is it a Mike Pagano endorsement of kdbus. \u00a0This is no different then some of the other optional and experimental patches we carry. \u00a0I do all the genpatches work which includes the patches, the ebuilds and the bugs therefore\u00a0since I don’t mind the extra work of keeping this up to date, then I can’t see any reason not to include it as an option.<\/p>\n
