I believe suspend2-sources are the tree that the suspend2 author is |
| 12 |
releasing, so it's from outside Gentoo. However, as with all portage tree |
| 13 |
kernels save for vanilla- and now git-sources (which has just been added, |
| 14 |
as a daily updated release of the nightly snapshot of Linus' git tree, for |
| 15 |
to encourage more direct testing -- bugs to be filed upstream on the |
| 16 |
mainline kernel bug tracker, *NOT* on bugs.gentoo, for report turnaround |
| 17 |
speed in testing the nightly snapshots), the suspend2-sources include the |
| 18 |
standard set of Gentoo patches, I believe. |

One can of course take a look at the ebuild, and trace thru the inherited |
| 21 |
eclasses if necessary, to see what sources it uses and how. Or just run |
| 22 |
emerge --fetchonly to see what it downloads to $distdir, and/or just |
| 23 |
complete the ebuild and watch the output to see what it does and what it |
| 24 |
merges. (Kernel ebuilds don't actually compile the kernel, just install |
| 25 |
the sources, to allow user or genkernel configuration and compilation as |
| 26 |
desired.) |
