5 I'm still using the hardened profile both at my desktop and my server -
6 now together with latest stable vanilla-kernel by directly following the
7 stable kernel git
8 (echo "sys-kernel/vanilla-sources-4.10.13" >>
9 /etc/portage/profile/package.provided).
10 I realized (at the tinderbox images as well), that PAX-marking error
11 messages do occur, when I didn't add '-paxkernel' to my USE flags.
12
13 I do wonder, if the PAX marking logic could detect a running
14 non-hardened kernel and therefore silently skip the step ?
