This is Gentoo, you have to make most of the decisions yourself. You |
| 11 |
don't necessarily need the sources for the running kernel. |

It's in the emerge man page. |

Alternatively, you can create a set that ensures no kernel sources are |
| 27 |
ever depcleaned. Add this to /etc/portage/sets.conf |
| 28 |
|
| 29 |
[kernels] |
| 30 |
class = portage.sets.dbapi.OwnerSet |
| 31 |
world-candidate = False |
| 32 |
files = /usr/src |
| 33 |
|
| 34 |
and add the kernels set to world with this |
| 35 |
|
| 36 |
emerge -n @kernels |
| 37 |
|
| 38 |
Now any kernel sources you install will not be removed until you |
| 39 |
specifically instruct portage to do so. |

They will be removed when you manually unmerge the kernel |
| 45 |
|
| 46 |
emerge -Ca \=sys-kernel/gentoo-sources:4.4.52 |
