11 Thanks for your answer...
12 That's what I figured out when I tried.
13 Now I think that it would remind you some experience if I told you that I
14 was thinking about patching hardened-sources with vserver patch... isn't it
15 ?
16 I tried by naively thinking I could just "mash up" vserver-sources &
17 hardened-sources ebuilds but it failed.
18 Looking at some mailing archives, I ended with thinking that's not a good
19 idea, and that applying vserver+grsec official patch to a vanilla kernel
20 would be less painful.
21
22 Is there any recent story about this combination ?
23 I clearly understand that hardened team won't put vserver patch in
24 hardened-sources.
