All I'm saying is that in general your kernel patches *are* trivial to |
| 8 |
apply. I know if feels scary, but in general if you are following a |
| 9 |
patchset then it will be built for a specific kernel release and you |
| 10 |
simply run patch to incorporate the changes - nothing further... |
| 11 |
|

In the case of hardened-sources, I *believe* you can repro the effect |
| 13 |
with something like: |
| 14 |
|
| 15 |
- wget kernel-source |
| 16 |
- wget grsec-patch-for-given-kernel |
| 17 |
- patch -p0 < grsec-patch-for-given-kernel |
| 18 |
|
| 19 |
Nothing further should be required (that's all I'm doing) |
| 20 |
|

However, I'm actually not trying to disuade you from using the ebuilds, |
| 23 |
just pointing out that it's worth breaking down the "fear" that you |
| 24 |
couldn't do this yourself if you needed to fairly easily |
| 25 |
|
| 26 |
Good luck |
