Hi,

As stated in bug #74396, all ebuilds using kernel-mod.eclass must be
converted to using either linux-mod.eclass and/or linux-info.eclass.

The bug has been open since 2004-12-14, yet there are still ebuilds in
the tree which inherits kernel-mod.eclass:

$ find . -name "*.ebuild"|xargs grep inherit|grep kernel-mod|cut -d '/' -f 2,4|sed -e "s:\.ebuild.*::"
sci-misc/comedi-0.7.68
sci-misc/comedi-0.7.67
media-libs/svgalib-1.9.19-r3
sys-apps/realtime-lsm-0.8.2_pre20041022
sys-apps/realtime-lsm-0.8.3
sys-apps/realtime-lsm-0.8.5
sys-cluster/pvfs2-1.2.0
sys-fs/cryptsetup-0.1
media-sound/alsa-driver-1.0.3
media-tv/linuxtv-dvb-1.1.1-r1
media-tv/rivatv-0.8.5-r2

Apart from sci-misc/comedi and sys-cluster/pvfs2, the ebuilds all have
newer versions which have already been ported. If you maintain any of
these ebuilds, please see to it that the older versions which use
kernel-mod.eclass are either removed from the tree or updated to use
the new eclasses.

Needless to say, the sci-misc/comedi and sys-cluster/pvfs2 needs to be
converted to use the new eclasses as well. The old kernel-mod.eclass
is not for use in new ebuilds.

Regards,
Brix
