Hi,
I'm currently working on adding a Gentoo build for a linux libre
2.6.31.4 kernel with the new realtime patches. It applies cleanly,
which is great, but deblob-check incorrectly sees a blob in the
patch. The patchfile is available at
http://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/projects/rt/patch-2.6.31.4-rt14.bz2
, and the false positives are in a new documentation file,
Documentation/trace/histograms.txt They're a table of example output
from a feature of the realtime kernel;
deblob-check -B patch-2.6.31.4-rt14.bz2 gives:
::: patch-2.6.31.4-rt14 :::
0 2984486876
1 49843506
2 58219047
3 5348126
4 2187960

I looked through the deblob script, but wasn't sure the best way to
mark these false-positives. Please could you advise me, and once we
get it sorted, add it to the deblob script?
Thanks alot, keep up the Good Work.
Nick
P.S. Please could you change the reference to my gentoo ebuilds from
'Genfree' ebuilds to 'Gentoo' ebuilds. Much as the (albeit strange)
pun is nice, it is quite confusing for new people who are looking to
see if a libre kernel is easily available for Gentoo. Thanks.
