Opps, I did not read very deeply, still on first java_fix.... |

Once the newer kernel series come out, the newer versions |
| 14 |
of a series (usually) slow way down on being delivered. |

Maybe a wildcard with the kernel series name in your "world" |
| 17 |
file might work. |

At some point, the long kernel series revisions are usually |
| 21 |
only about tweaking a few given features. If that is your |
| 22 |
situation, dig into the kernel sources, read the docs and |
| 23 |
find the guy hacking on that option. Many will add additional |
| 24 |
testers, if you know what your are doing. |

Alternatively, run a cron job where you manually query |
| 28 |
the gentoo-sources can parse out what you wnat by |
| 29 |
kernel series number, and then mail that to yourself, |
| 30 |
if it is all that important.... |
