Description Mark (voidzero) 2016-07-20 11:34:41 UTC

Hello,

Recently, hardened-sources-4.5.7-r6 and -r7 were deleted from portage, but 4.5.7-r5 still exists. What is the reason for this and is something wrong with the -r6 and -r7 versions? For various reasons I would like to stay on 4.5.7 for now, but I also would like to use the most recent version. Right now I am running 4.5.7-r7, and I would like to know if it is important to downgrade, hence why I ask.

Thank you,
Mark

this is not a bug.  basically go through the closed bug reports for hardened-sources and you'll see what the problems are.
