1 Hi,

3 you could set the symlink IUSE for your kernel package, that way your /usr/src/linux symlink would always link to your most recent kernel

6 Hi,

8 i just have a question regarding packages using linux-info.eclass to check for specific kernel config flags (e.g. app-emaulation/docker).
9
10 Currently it seems like the flags are only checked against the config in /usr/src/linux which is not necessariliy the running kernel.
11
12 Furthermore there are some warnings printed, but after some time i find it hard to remember what i will have to change in my kernel configs in order to make the package work right. It is also just a snapshot of the situation at the time emerge is building the package.
13
14 Does there exists a tool helping in maintaining consistency between kernel configuration and configs required by currently installed packages.
15
16 If not, could emaint be be the right tool to extend with this functionality?
17 Or is this functionality not really needed?
