Description Manuel Hiebel 2012-04-29 16:44:42 CEST

Description of problem:

Yesterday when testing the live I have make mistake with choosing reiser4 instead of ext4.

So I get: no package named reiser4progs

And it's true also in mga2 after adding the repo.

Comment 1 Thierry Vignaud 2012-04-29 19:05:56 CEST

Thomas you added support for reiser4 for kernel-tmb but you didn't do any image with kernel-tmb and reiser4progs isn't packaged

CC: (none) => tmb

Comment 2 Thomas Backlund 2012-04-29 19:27:45 CEST

Yeah, 
kernel-tmb is Mga1 has reiser4 support, nad I did do local images and rpms to test it, but there were no real need for the images as it turned out... 

And there is no known working reiser4 code for 3.3 series kernels, and it does not seem to change anytime soon...

upstream reiser4 maintainer Edward Shishkin has stated that it nowdays is "Not Of High Priority" and he has lack of time, so I think we should drop the support in drakx again.

Fixed in git

Status: NEW => RESOLVED
