I would agree that this is an awesome idea and would be very cool, however one might run into trouble with conflicting patches. Just my 2 cents. um ... yeah but portage handles conflicts very well :-) try building gaim-cvs on top of gaim, for example AFAIK there are patches that don't work well together, but what about using USE-flags for telling what you need in your kernel? Of course it would be hard to maintain ^_^;; *** Bug 37718 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. *** my opinon on this is that it would be unfeasible to attempt to do this. the patches very rarely apply cleanly between kernel sources, and even less frequently against pre-patched sources. there is currently a lot of work going on in tidying up the tree, so hopefully we can come to some sort of compromise here. for now though i will close and revisit.
