http://gentoo-wiki.com/Kernel_Sources needs updating rather a lot. Can you remove the old misleading text and make the "note:" bits official? gentoo-sources: "superceded by gentoo-dev-sources, and is going to be replaced by it very soon" This suggests that g-s is going to go away and be replaced by g-dev-s. Infact you mean it to happen in the other direction. "is based on the 2.4.x series of vanilla kernels. "Note: Nowadays, gentoo-sources contains 2.6.x series kernels." Misleading... can you just replace the text with the 'Note:' information? (Id the old stuff is important to keep, cant you mark it as 'old info'. gentoo-dev-sources "This is the kernel that most people will want to use." except its not available as you note below. "If you are currently using gentoo-sources, you should probably upgrade to this kernel." :) except g-sources has replaced it, so infact you cant. "Note: Nowadays, 2.6.x series kernels have gone into gentoo-sources" Which said that g-dev-sources was going to replace it and that g-sources was going to be removed soon. *BINGO* You didnt mean that g-d-s was going to superced g-s you ment that the old g-d-s was going to move into g-s! That supercedes and replace line is very misleading and suggests that g-s is going to be replaced/superceded, not that g-d-s is going to be superceded and removed. "gentoo-dev-sources is not available at this moment." Even though gentoo-sources says to use this one? Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. read document, as above. Actual Results: Im confused about which kernel to install... (not really, but the docs didnt help me at all and if I hadnt already known, I would have been very confused about which was replacing which) Expected Results: The docs should say: g-sources: based on 2.6 kernel. Use this kernel. g-dev-sources: old development tree. changes moved into g-s. g-d-s has been removed. I could mark this as minor, but I think new people coming to gentoo need all the help they can get on kernel installs, so I actually think its a pretty major thing.... and quick to fix too!!!
Ummm Gentoo Wiki isn't an Official Gentoo Project AFAIK. That means you're telling the wrong people :) And more importantly, its a Wiki. Which means you can make these changes to the page yourself.
fox2mike is correct. the only docs for which we are responsible are on gentoo.org
Gentoo doesnt have a wiki
Ok, im not sure how I got to the wiki page... :-/ Nope.. no idea. I tried trying to get there again couldnt. No idea how I ended up on the wiki... ;-/
