vanilla-sources-2.6.28 compiles and runs fine on amd64 machine Reproducible: Always Actual Results: vanilla-sources-2.6.28 compiles and runs fine on amd64 machine, so I would like to request keywording on this arch I also noticed that gentoo-sources-2.6.28.ebuild does have the ~amd64 keyword, but it is missing from vanilla-sources-2.6.28.ebuild
I can confirm that this needs to be keyworded "~amd64".
Also confirming. Can someone at least make sure there is some amd64 keyword for this when the ebuild gets pushed down the tree?
Vanilla 2.6.28 is working fine on my Core2 (amd64). I can also confirm it.
yes, yes this works fine. @kernel team: I don't see why *only* ~amd64 was dropped from vanilla-sources without a bug being filed for its re-keyword. Please file bugs when our keyword is getting dropped, especially for no 'real' reason (at least, that I know of or can see) http://sources.gentoo.org/viewcvs.py/gentoo-x86/sys-kernel/vanilla-sources/vanilla-sources-2.6.28.ebuild?rev=1.1&view=markup Thanks.
The bump was not performed by kernel team, but this is the usual practice for all kernels: all arch keywords are dropped when Linus does a new release, as we used to find that quite often the releases are broken on entire architectures. I'm considering changing this as I think the arches do a better job these days, but not sure when that will be.

FWIW, I don't think it should be required to drop ~x86 & ~amd64 from a kernel version bump these days. But I do not have the expertise that you do.
