However, it prevents packages from DEPENDing on it. For example, if the |
| 11 |
kernels were to ever use the genkernel thing, nvidia-kernel might DEPEND on |
| 12 |
nvidia-kernel if it actually needed the source for it. I also don't think it |
| 13 |
should automaticly provide the package it is the source for until the user |
| 14 |
uses ebuild to install/merge it into the system. |

I can't think of any valid reason they would need to do so, but I've never |
| 24 |
done much of anything with the kernel. |
