What happened to sys-kernel/vanilla-sources-4.0.9? I just went to recompile my kernel, and not only did the sources get removed in the depclean but also the package was removed from the repository source! I didn't want to jump to 4.2.0 just yet but it looks like I have to just to add more modules. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. emerge -av =sys-kernel/vanilla-sources-4.0.9 Actual Results: emerge: there are no ebuilds to satisfy "=sys-kernel/vanilla-sources-4.0.9". Expected Results: Asked to install the package.
4.x is EOL (maintained from April 2015 to July 2015). http://article.gmane.org/gmane.linux.kernel.stable/143114 ---------------------------------------------- Note, this is the last 4.0-stable release, it is now end-of-life. Please move to 4.1-stable at this point in time. ---------------------------------------------- You should move to 4.1 (should be the next LTS) or 4.2.
Hello Kelly, As Tomas said, it was removed because it reached the EOL. If you don't have enough knowledge about ebuild(s), I made an article about: https://blogs.gentoo.org/ago/2013/08/30/use-an-eol-kernel/ As alternative, since 4.0 won't be updated anymore, you can just download the tarball, put it into /usr/src and copy your config into the directory.
Okay. I'm going to move to 4.2 as soon as Nvidia updates the drivers for it.
