No. You'll miss the patches that don't come in the tarball. To install |
| 14 |
it again, emerge it again. For example, for gentoo-sources-2.6.30-r7: |
| 15 |
|
| 16 |
emerge gentoo-sources:2.6.30-r7 |
| 17 |
|
| 18 |
emerge --depclean will never remove it again since you specified that |
| 19 |
the "2.6.30-r7" slot is always to be kept. |

By doing what I described above :) It well never be removed unless you do: |
| 25 |
|
| 26 |
emerge -C gentoo-sources:2.6.30-r7 |
