Yes, gave it as an quick example but I indeed remember from going
|
| 16 |
through the sources ebuilds that hardened ebuilds do quite some things.
|
| 17 |
I think the downside from extending genpatches is that hardened-sources
|
| 18 |
can no longer rely on it, but we'll have to see that as we go forward.
|
| 19 |
|
| 20 |
I don't think that apart from hardened the optional patches on their own
|
| 21 |
are hard to combine; they each have their own separate goal, I don't
|
| 22 |
see them conflict on anything. If it happens once in a while, we can
|
| 23 |
still maintain them to work together.
|
| 24 |
|
| 25 |
Also note that I do not plan to introduce any USE flags, since that
|
| 26 |
would duplicate the options to be listed in the kernel menuconfig.

Apart from the changes discussed on the gentoo-kernel ML, nothing else
|
| 34 |
there will change. You can read the thread as well as the summary; if
|
| 35 |
you disagree, you're welcome to join the discussion there.

But yes, apart from that, vanilla-sources will give you vanilla kernel.
