Afaik the code in 9999 differs by more than just bugfixes. Let me quote |
| 28 |
from the -9999 ebuild: |
| 29 |
|
| 30 |
"The git master branch (what you get with this -9999 ebuild) for |
| 31 |
catalyst now contains the work-in-progress code for catalyst-3.x. |
| 32 |
Be aware that it's very likely that it will not be in a working |
| 33 |
state at any given point." |
| 34 |
|
| 35 |
Also, please be aware that I have brought up the question of deleting |
| 36 |
the 3.x altogether. That means: In case you start using -9999 we really |
| 37 |
need to know, so we don't pull the chair that you just sat down on. |

On the /usr/src issue I would like to ask you to file a bug for it. |
| 41 |
Copy-pasting from your original mail should be fine. Thanks for |
| 42 |
bringing it up. |
