Sure. You can submit patches to the guide via our bug tracker at |
| 12 |
http://bugs.gentoo.org and we'll fix up the guide. |

The genkernel guide was (as far as I know) maintained mostly by the |
| 15 |
previous primary genkernel maintainer before he left Gentoo. As the |
| 16 |
current maintainer, I've spent more of my time working on the actual |
| 17 |
code of genkernel than the documentation. As such, the documentation is |
| 18 |
quite out-of-date and doesn't match current genkernel behavior. Even |
| 19 |
worse, I'm modifying some of the behavior to make more sense and be |
| 20 |
easier for the end user. Expect genkernel 3.4.9 to be quite different |
| 21 |
from 3.4.8, without breaking compatibility. When I get around to |
| 22 |
genkernel 3.5, things will be even more different, as we're diverging |
| 23 |
from the older code and making several modifications that we've blocked |
| 24 |
until now, as they were too disruptive. |
| 25 |
|
| 26 |
At any rate, I'm willing to help you proof any changes you make and can |
| 27 |
answer questions for you, but won't be able to actually spend the time |
| 28 |
to make any actual changes myself. |
