Description Toralf Förster gentoo-dev 2009-03-29 13:23:58 UTC
The Gentoo patch set doesn't need to bundle the patch set 2.6.??.y - b/c that file is already downloaded for peopale who use the vanilla kernell too.


Reproducible: Always
Comment 1 Mike Pagano gentoo-dev 2009-03-29 20:20:22 UTC
we do not provide support for vanilla-sources. It is provided as-is. Our genpatches are for gentoo-sources. We will continue to provide all the patches we deem necessary for our users in accordance with out policies.
