Releases of the linux beta kernel will be rather frequent for quite a while, if I want to keep a little up to date this and help out testing it will even on broadband adsl mean a good 10 minute (32MB) download every single time from the kernel master archives (since most of the time mirrors won't have caught up). This is really not a good practice. Therefore the development sources should see whether there is a somewhat recent full tree available in distfiles and download incremental patches from there. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: Expected Results: Ebuild should use incremental patches instead of downloading complete tarballs every minor release
we have added deltup into portage tree cause not every package supplies patches/diffs
