As I said, I switched to vanilla-sources more than five years ago; and |
13 |
I remember that was the case back then. |

Certainly I should not have assumed that it was still that way now; I |
16 |
apologize for that. |

I was probably using stable, yes. Afterwards, it was decided that |
24 |
vanilla-sources would be always be ~arch, so probably I kept the idea |
25 |
in my mind that gentoo-sources was lagging much more than |
26 |
vanilla-sources, since with ~arch vanilla-sources is updated almost |
27 |
immediately. |
