The Kernel Guide lists the "wolk-sources" kernel sources package as one of the available kernel sources packages. However, it is not in portage or listed at packages.gentoo.org. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Go to http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/gentoo-kernel.xml#doc_chap2 2. See "wolk-sources" listed 3. Type "emerge wolk-sources" at the console Actual Results: "wolk-sources" is listed but does not exist in portage Expected Results: Either it should not be listed, or it should be in portage N/A
wolk-sources was taken out some time back as it wasn't being maintained upstream. http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=gentoo-dev&m=111490497620294&w=2 So I'd say that means removing it from the guide.
Created attachment 60090 [details, diff] noWOLKandallplay.diff This patch moves wolk-sources from supported kernels to unsupported, obsoleted kernels.

Sean: don't mess with bugzilla so patches are shown inline. If you want to reply to a certain patch area, quote the few lines (but that isn't the case here). I'll just remove wolk-sources from the guide, no reason in keeping historic data in it.
Fixed in CVS. Thanks for reporting!
