Use vanilla kernel if you need this... I do not want to use the vanilla kernel I like your patches. Why is it bad to have that little extra micro version appended? Does it horribly break your version scheme, will it confuse portage? I fail to see why this wasn't done when the kernel devs even started doing the w.x.y.z version scheme. would you do Gnome 2.6-r8 ? or kde-3.4-r3 ? how about binutils? binutils-2.15.92.0.2-r10 the extra bits don't seem to have any effect on portage it still works quite nicely. Can I at least get a better explanation other than "use vanilla kernel" gentoo-sources kernels don't correspond to vanilla sources, these are patched with backported and other patches. See http://dev.gentoo.org/~dsd/genpatches/kernels.htm for information on relevant patches. Also see Bug 101354. Dupe of Bug 101354. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of 101354 *** |
