Description Attila Stehr 2015-06-28 12:37:33 UTC
link: http://www.gentoo.org/proj/en/security/kernel.xml

There is a link to http://wwwold.gentoo.org/proj/en/security/kernel.xml bu that does not supply "specific information on why this kernel is unsupported". Actually there is no word about a deblobbed kernel at all.

 * Package:    sys-kernel/gentoo-sources-4.1.0-r1
[...]
 * If you are upgrading from a previous kernel, you may be interested
 * in the following document:
 *   - General upgrade guide: http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/kernel-upgrade.xml
 * Deblobbed kernels may not be up-to-date security-wise
 * as they depend on external scripts.
 * This means that it is likely to be vulnerable to recent security issues.
 * For specific information on why this kernel is unsupported, please read:
 * http://www.gentoo.org/proj/en/security/kernel.xml
 * For more info on this patchset, and how to report problems, see:
 * http://dev.gentoo.org/~mpagano/genpatches
