U folks are aware of the fact that installed sources is rather vaguely |
| 2 |
coupled with running kernel, right? |
| 3 |
|
| 4 |
No, I'm not running archkernel on gentoo, but it would be possible. |
| 5 |
It's also fine to poke around in linus' sources and cross compile w/o |
| 6 |
ever running the damn thing or needing firmware from /lib/firmware. |
| 7 |
|
| 8 |
Anyway, please do not force-reinstall of about 400k kernel source files |
| 9 |
to just fix any USE flag constellation. |
| 10 |
I'm not saying --newuse, just people forgetting to set the flag. |

Last thought, we have maintainer-needed in bugzilla to handle |
| 13 |
unmaintained packages (and I'm looking at these from time to time, maybe |
| 14 |
I should start a maintainer-needed herd). |
| 15 |
|
| 16 |
/$(get_libdir) vs /lib is the wrong method without effect, |
| 17 |
non-multilib/x86 installs to /lib, multilib is linked to /lib. |
| 18 |
So please, stop using dramatizing this and use it as alibi for your |
| 19 |
otherwise justified plans. |
