Kernel sources work differently. They are the only package where every |
| 22 |
version must be it's own SLOT, and one of very few that only unpacks |
| 23 |
sources and have no equivalent to a make step. |
| 24 |
|
| 25 |
gentoo-sources will always add the latest sources when you update world, |
| 26 |
and then they stay there forever. You must manually build a kernel and |
| 27 |
install it, and unmerging the package only removes the original sources. |
| 28 |
|
| 29 |
By all means have kernel sources with versions or slots in world, it |
| 30 |
only means that you want to keep the original sources around so portage |
| 31 |
won't remove them. To fully delete a kernel version you have to unmerge |
| 32 |
the package, rm the source directory in /usr/src, rm the modules dir in |
| 33 |
/lib/modules, rm the files in /boot and edit grub.conf |
