Huh? gentoo-sources is in at least as good a shape as I've ever seen |
| 8 |
it. I'd argue it is in better shape than at a lot of times in the |
| 9 |
past. |

There are other kernels in the repo, as there have been for as long as |
| 12 |
I can remember. They vary in purpose and level of QA. And of course |
| 13 |
you can just download your own sources considering the official |
| 14 |
handbook instructions has you build your own kernel anyway... I |
| 15 |
personally just run upstream longterm so that I have more control over |
| 16 |
things, because I run ZFS. However I wouldn't say that this is any |
| 17 |
problem with the Gentoo kernels - I just have unusual needs and a |
| 18 |
package for the source tarball doesn't really add much value anyway. |
| 19 |
A package that actually builds/installs a working kernel seems like a |
| 20 |
lot more value-add aside from the QA. |
