A full rebuild shouldn't be neccessary after a switch to gentoo-sources |
| 11 |
or vanilla-sources. At least, I can't think of any reason why it would, |
| 12 |
and I haven't encountered any problems after switching on my own hosts. |

Just keep in mind that vanilla-sources doesn't support the PaX xattrs |
| 15 |
properly (AFAIR), so if you ever want to switch *back* from vanilla to |
| 16 |
hardened, some pax markings will be missing. This shouldn't be an issue |
| 17 |
for gentoo-sources, though. |
