10 I have never had to do this in the past. Simply having a slot in world
11 as indicated here:
12
13 apollo ~ # grep gentoo-sources /var/lib/portage/world
14 sys-kernel/gentoo-sources:5.4.66
15
16 and not just sys-kernel/gentoo-sources has been enough that it doesn't
17 pull in extra sources. I'm trying to figure out why this behaviour has
18 changed. I've been doing it this way for years, and only recently has it
19 started to try to merge a newer version while emerging world.
20
21 Or is this because nvidia-drivers depends on virtual/linux-sources? Even
22 so, the presence of the single slotted version in world should be enough
23 to satisfy the dependency.
