A rare example of good news:
I contacted my ISP, they contacted me back many times for additional
information and interacted with The Main Internet-Blocking Agency of
Russia (called Roskomnadzor), and bingo: the problem is solved. All 3

Hi everyone,
Over the last little while I've been inspired to improve the Gentoo WSL
experience. My end goal here is to get a Gentoo image distributed via
the Windows Store which can be installed with minimal user interaction.
So far it's looking pretty successful: using the stage3-openrc-desk

Ran into this while debugging a WSL user creation script.
It seems to have been an issue for quite a while, doesn't
really cost us anything to fix, and is probably better at
meeting user expectations than the current behaviour.

The Gentoo Handbook has, for a long time, provided instructions to create
new users with the -m flag. However, this now results in the error
"Creating mailbox file: No such file or directory" because
`/var/spool/mail` is no longer included in stage3 tarballs.
It can also be assu

The kernel we're building against may have had its tools (e.g. modpost)
built for the target arch or even some other arch than the we're
building with now. To work around this, rebuild those tools with make
modules_prepare when necessary.
Doing this in pkg_setup is not ideal, but some ebuilds have
get_version used to detect the output directory under /lib/modules if
KBUILD_OUTPUT wasn't explicitly set, but this broke when bug #662772 was
fixed. The code is still there but effectively does nothing as
OUTPUT_DIR is already used to set KV_OUT_DIR above.

This code originates from 21 years ago, but I don't think it ever made
sense. KBUILD_OUTPUT was never written anywhere until last year. Now it
is written to the Makefile in the output directory, which is what we're
trying to locate in the first place!

If KBUILD_OUTPUT is set but doesn't exist, the Makefile will try to
create it, which will probably fail due to permissions issues. We don't
actually want to write anything here, so there is no need to set it.

Currently, it unsets ARCH, so it uses the build architecture. This is
fine if you have the full kernel sources, which is usually the case.
However, an install-extmod-build script was added to Linux fairly
recently that installs just the files needed to build out-of-tree
modules in a distro-neutral
This was copied from getfilevar but never used.
