Description Anton Gubarkov 2020-06-18 11:09:10 UTC 
I run 5.7.2-gentoo and every time I update @world I face 

 *
 * WireGuard has been merged upstream in Linux 5.6. Therefore,
 * you no longer need this compatibility ebuild. Instead, simply
 * enable CONFIG_WIREGUARD=y in your kernel configuration.
 *
 * ERROR: net-vpn/wireguard-modules-1.0.20200611::gentoo failed (setup phase):
 *   Use CONFIG_WIREGUARD=y for kernels >= 5.6, and do not use this package.
