22 There is much here I don't understand. Isn't it possible for someone
23 who actually
24 got one of the missing ebuilds to re-build an ebuild and pass it
25 around? For instance,
26 I seem to have
27
28 linux-2.6.11-gentoo-r11
29 linux-2.6.11.11
30 linux-2.6.12-gentoo-r4
31 linux-2.6.12-gentoo-r6
32 linux-2.6.12-gentoo-r9
33 linux-2.6.7-gentoo-r11
34 linux-2.6.7-win4lin-r2
35 linux-2.6.7-win4lin-r5
36
37 of which I seem to be actually running (according to uname)
38 2.6.12-gentoo-r6-kosmanor #1 SMP
39
40 Isn't it possible to package one of these and share it? (Provided anyone
41 would trust me not to be malicious).
