Description charles17 2020-04-29 11:15:55 UTC

When the savedconfig USE flag is enabled
And /etc/portage/savedconfig/sys-kernel/ does not exist or linux-firmware was not installed before

Then the /etc/portage/savedconfig/sys-kernel/linux-firmware  file should be installed without trailing ${PV}.

Presently it gets installed like "linux-firmware-20200421" regardless if savedconfig is enabled or not.  If users who want savedconfig forget to rename (remove ${PV}) then next upgrade removes their configured config.

Not a package bug.

That's how the eclass works. You are basically asking to change behavior of that eclass.

For the relevant use case I noted down in the wiki article to remove "-{PV}".
