Subject: [gentoo-dev] News item: USE=pax_kernel renaming

1 I have attached this news item to hardened profiles, even though there
2 is nothing in those profiles which enforces this USE flag any more. An
3 alternative would be to attach it to all the packages with this flag in
4 IUSE but it feels like it might generate too much noise.

6 Regarding the USE-flag change itself, my plan is to temporarily add the
7 REQUIRED_USE compatibility guard to libffi (as suggested by slyfox) and
8 simply rename the flag everywhere else.

37 On 2021-07-01 the USE flag 'pax_kernel' will be renamed to 'pax-kernel'
38 in order to remove the disallowed underscore character. If you use
39 a PaX-enabled kernel, update your package-manager configuration
40 accordingly; failure to do so might result in affected packages no
41 longer functioning on your system.
