It is just to exclude a gentoo-sources version from depclean. I assumed |
| 29 |
you do something like this: |
| 30 |
|
| 31 |
$> emerge -c --exclude=gentoo-sources:4.14.83 |
| 32 |
|
| 33 |
and may be multiple times. With --noreplace the corresponding version |
| 34 |
will be omitted, so a simple 'emerge -c' would be enough. |
| 35 |
|
| 36 |
Anyway, I did struggle with this gentoo-sources thing a long time ago. I |
| 37 |
want to have the latest stable (minor) version (patch) of the running |
| 38 |
kernel installed as well the newest stable one. As long as it is not |
| 39 |
compiled and booted is uses only some disk space. If I have compiled the |
| 40 |
kernel I use e.g. 'emerge --noreplace gentoo-sources:4.14.83' to keep |
| 41 |
it. |
| 42 |
|
| 43 |
To get the latest patch version I have ...package.mask/gentoo-sources. |
| 44 |
For the latest stable sources I remove the file and re-create it |
| 45 |
afterwards. This is done by a cron job automatically. A little bit like |
| 46 |
this ('gentoo-sources' contains: ">=sys-kernel/gentoo-sources-4.15") |
| 47 |
|
| 48 |
FN="${PORTAGE_CONFIGROOT}/etc/portage/package.mask/gentoo-sources" |
| 49 |
emerge -u gentoo-sources |
| 50 |
TMP=`cat $FN` |
| 51 |
rm -f $FN |
| 52 |
emerge -u gentoo-sources |
| 53 |
echo $TMP > $FN |
| 54 |
|
| 55 |
Just my way. To me it is important to have a high level of automation. |
| 56 |
With automation it is unimportant how many gentoo-sources kernels are |
| 57 |
installed. I remove obsolete ones periodically by hand. |
