Hi, I've recently become the kernel maintainer for gentoo, I assure you |
| 2 |
that the ACPI patches are on the list for inclusion once I can give them |
| 3 |
enough testing and get them integrated into our kernel cleanly. Until |
| 4 |
then, I suggest using the vanilla sources kernel ebuild and applying the |
| 5 |
patch yourself. |
| 6 |
|
| 7 |
This gives me an idea though, and I will probably be making pre-release |
| 8 |
linux-kernel ebuilds which will go with the vanilla-sources but always be |
| 9 |
masked. |

Thanks for using gentoo! |
