The stable alpha-sources was 2.4.21-r1. The do_brk fix was added to all |
6 |
existing alpha-sources ebuilds, but that doesn't push the fix out for |
7 |
users when they do "emerge -u world" ... for that one needs to bump the |
8 |
revision. |

The rule in Gentoo is: |
11 |
- If it's a compile-time problem, don't need to bump the revision |
12 |
(because the user couldn't compile it anyway). |
13 |
- If it's a run-time problem, bump the revision so that users will |
14 |
get the new package when they update. |

Yeah, I'd say just keep both of them. If alpha users don't want those |
21 |
patches, they can always use vanilla sources or roll their own. |
22 |
alpha-sources is intended to be like gentoo-sources, but for alpha... |
