4 I have a couple of old machines I maintain and emerging and unmerging
5 kernel sources take a while because there are so many files. Also one
6 set of gentoo sources takes about 230MB of disk space. By removing stuff
7 not belonging to x86 I was able to succesfully run make with 58MB/230MB
8 removed. The stuff I removed:
9 arch/* except i386 and x86_64
10 include/asm-* expect asm-generic, asm-i386 and asm-x86_64
11
12 So I propose we implement a minimal USE flag in the kernel-2 eclass that
13 would make the cleaning I succested before the merging. One problem
14 coming from the clean is that make clean does not work and at the moment
15 it is run before unmerging, which is of course a good thing. If the
16 kernel devs think this is a good idea, I can make an implementation for
17 this.
