Putting the kernel versions you want to keep into @world by slot will |
| 25 |
keep them from being depcleaned. E.g., if depclean wants to get rid of |
| 26 |
gentoo-sources-4.19.44 but you want to keep it, use |
| 27 |
|
| 28 |
# emerge --noreplace sys-kernel/gentoo-sources:4.19.44 |
| 29 |
|
| 30 |
Note the colon. |

Neil's method is better, as once you implement it you never have to do |
| 33 |
anything again. |
