Hi, Ive been playing with my kernel options and trying out a few |
| 2 |
different kernels, and Ive got a few small ideas. |
| 3 |
|
| 4 |
first of all, there are a few packages that need to be re-emerged when |
| 5 |
you compile a new kernel (ie nvidia-kernel and emu10k1) |
| 6 |
|
| 7 |
it would be nice to have a way to be able to run something like |
| 8 |
emerge new-kernel |
| 9 |
after compiling a new kernel. this could be done with an ebuilkd |
| 10 |
variable that registers an ebuild as being dependant on the kernel? |
| 11 |
|
| 12 |
the other thing is that if I am using two different kernels, only one |
| 13 |
can have external packages (like nvidia-kernel and emu10k1) because they |
| 14 |
get cleaned out. I dont know how this would be possible, but It would be |
| 15 |
nice to implement something like SLOT (only different because its the |
| 16 |
same ebuild) that would allow you to have two versions of the same |
| 17 |
ebuild installed. |
| 18 |
|

oh, and by the way, I just niticed that if you emerge a different |
| 20 |
*-sources, your .config gets copied over. That rocks. |
