It just tries to install the highest version that matches your masks, |
| 9 |
which will be lower than the one that was discontinued. Of course, as |
| 10 |
this is the kernel sources, it doesn't matter which other versions |
| 11 |
portage chooses to install, you can still use the old one. |

You will get warnings that you have an installed package that is no |
| 14 |
longer in the tree, but you could always copy the ebuild to a local |
| 15 |
overlay to avoid both of these issues. |

The word 'Windows' is a word out of an old dialect of the Apaches. |

It means: 'White man staring through glass-screen onto an hourglass...') |
