sys-fs/zfs-kmod is broken under... #84

hi.

the installer breaks when i choose the llvm-systemd-mergedusr profile. (need llvm for testing) the installer pulls a broken version zfs-kmod-2.1.11. the "** version" zfs-kmod-2.1.12 did compile fine after i choose to continue.

its possible to let the installer know that the unstable/upstream version is the right one?

cheers.

It's not really feasible unfortunately. The issue is that the stage3 tarballs are not tested upstream against the currently available set of tools, so these breakages mostly come and go as gentoo releases new stage3 tarballs. This is why the installer allows you to intervene on failures.

Currently the installer requires only minimal maintenance and to solve this problem we would have to continuously test it against every released stage3 tarball and maintain a list of working packages. As long as there is no upstream support for this, it will be almost impossible for this installer to do it.

I'm sorry there's no better way currently. If something like this shows up, you will always need to intervene manually.
