The difference can be seen in the ebuild source U.R.I.s: |
| 7 |
gentoo-kernel-bin: https://dev.gentoo.org/~mgorny/binpkg/amd64/kernel/ \ |
| 8 |
sys-kernel/gentoo-kernel/${MY_P}.xpak |
| 9 |
gentoo-kernel: https://cdn.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/ ... + |
| 10 |
patches from https://dev.gentoo.org/~mpagano/dist/genpatches |
| 11 |
|
| 12 |
The wording is horrible, but as the suffix ("-bin") would suggest, the former is |
| 13 |
a binary .xpak package, whereas the latter is base kernel sources with |
| 14 |
additional Gentoo developers' patches. |
