Afaik there is no configuration-only way to do this, but you can make |
| 15 |
it happen by adding your own virtual ebuilds in a local overlay[1], |
| 16 |
say virtual/thanasis-sources, then adding that to world. |
| 17 |
|
| 18 |
You can make one ebuild for each kernel-series you want, each in its |
| 19 |
own slot, using the =cat/pkg-3.10* syntax for RDEPEND. Find attached a |
| 20 |
(barely tested) suggestion for |
| 21 |
virtual/thanasis-sources/thanasis-sources-3.10.ebuild . One caveat, |
| 22 |
=cat/pkg-3.10* also matches cat/pkg-3.107.1, which could become an |
| 23 |
issue if you wanted, say, the 3.2 series. |
| 24 |
|
| 25 |
After setting up an overlay and adding the ebuild, you can add it to |
| 26 |
world with `emerge --select virtual/thanasis-sources:3.10`. |
| 27 |
|
| 28 |
To add a different kernel series, you should only need to rename/copy |
| 29 |
the ebuild in your overlay and add the new version/slot to world. |
