Description Raymond Jennings 2016-08-20 21:56:12 UTC 
Could some of the 4.6 ebuilds be put back in the tree?  I have 4.7 hard-masked because it makes google-chrome crash on startup.
Comment 1 Andreas Sturmlechner gentoo-dev 2016-08-20 22:09:07 UTC 
gentoo-sources-4.6 doesn't have to be in tree for you to continue using it. Just don't depclean the sources.
Comment 2 Raymond Jennings 2016-08-20 22:34:02 UTC 
too late...

...I didn't even noticed they'd been depcleaned until 4.4 was already installed
Comment 3 Raymond Jennings 2016-08-20 22:36:43 UTC 
though I would like to ask...was there any special reason for 4.6 to be removed or was it just routine tree maintenance?
Comment 4 Andreas Sturmlechner gentoo-dev 2016-08-20 23:52:29 UTC 
Maintenance, and if I had to guess, bug 591624
Comment 5 Raymond Jennings 2016-08-20 23:54:06 UTC 
That actually looks like a good reason to punt it.
Comment 6 Raymond Jennings 2016-08-21 00:06:41 UTC 
Yeah looks like mpagano booted 4.6 out of the tree just today, only 48 hours or so after the bug you cited was filed.
Comment 7 Tomáš Mózes 2016-08-27 05:58:03 UTC 
Most probably because 4.6 is EOL (check kernel.org).
