Whee! This sounds right up my alley! I see the file bugs upstream thing |
| 13 |
and agree that makes the most sense. |

I had tried the occasional nightly build, but was never quite sure of the |
| 16 |
correct procedure to upgrade from one to the next, incremental vs. from |
| 17 |
-rc patch and all that, so I just tried it a very few times, in |
| 18 |
particular, when an rc was broken and known to be fixed within the next |
| 19 |
snapshot or two. This will of course solve that problem for me. |

Of course, I've been grabbing directly off of kernel.org. Now I'll have |
| 23 |
to figure out how to adapt my scripts to use the portage tree |
| 24 |
git-sources kernels. Fun, fun, fun! =8^) |
