my main problem with this is that Gentoo for obvious reasons never |
| 11 |
unmerge a kernel. if ~x86 would yield a few kernels every week for |
| 12 |
someone who has both vanilla-sources and development-sources |
| 13 |
installed, well, that'll take _space_. |
| 14 |
|
| 15 |
first in DISTFILES, then as a package if one uses buildpkg and last |
| 16 |
under /usr/src. for most people, this will be two compressed and |
| 17 |
one unpacked piece of kernel source for each installed kernel. |

this would, if nothing else, make "emerge -U world" slightly |
| 20 |
annoying to deal with. |
