Description Raymond Jennings 2016-08-20 21:56:12 UTC

Could some of the 4.6 ebuilds be put back in the tree?  I have 4.7 hard-masked because it makes google-chrome crash on startup.

gentoo-sources-4.6 doesn't have to be in tree for you to continue using it. Just don't depclean the sources.

Comment 2 Raymond Jennings 2016-08-20 22:34:02 UTC

too late...

...I didn't even noticed they'd been depcleaned until 4.4 was already installed

Comment 3 Raymond Jennings 2016-08-20 22:36:43 UTC

though I would like to ask...was there any special reason for 4.6 to be removed or was it just routine tree maintenance?

Maintenance, and if I had to guess, bug 591624

Comment 5 Raymond Jennings 2016-08-20 23:54:06 UTC

That actually looks like a good reason to punt it.

Comment 6 Raymond Jennings 2016-08-21 00:06:41 UTC

Yeah looks like mpagano booted 4.6 out of the tree just today, only 48 hours or so after the bug you cited was filed.

Comment 7 Tomáš Mózes 2016-08-27 05:58:03 UTC

Most probably because 4.6 is EOL (check kernel.org).
