So, it seems like gentoo-sources loves EOL kernels..
Well, if they EOL both 3.5 and 3.6 there isn't much we can do
about that. Although, since we're now with at least two we try to
provide everything in 3.x. So the only thing we don't do for the moment
is the 2.x kernels, there is one in the vanilla sources if needed.
so I'm staying at 3.6.11... although I would feel allot more
comfortable with something like 3.4.33!! but its at 3.4.9...
Personally for those machines I have decided to keep super stable (in
terms of updating software, at least as far as that is reasonably
possible with Gentoo) I have had good results with choosing whatever
Greg KH dubs his Long Term kernel (currenlty 3.4) and then simply
package.keyword that whole series:
=sys-kernel/gentoo-sources-3.0* # GKH stable
=sys-kernel/gentoo-sources-3.1* -*
=sys-kernel/gentoo-sources-3.2* -*
=sys-kernel/gentoo-sources-3.3* -*
=sys-kernel/gentoo-sources-3.5* -* # EOL
=sys-kernel/gentoo-sources-3.4* # GKH stable
=sys-kernel/gentoo-sources-3.6* -* # EOL
=sys-kernel/gentoo-sources-3.7* -* # not supported by NVidia 310.xx
I don't mind keywording the minor-minor release from Gentoo, I find it
unlikely much will break in such a release.
Much less in any case than jumping up two minor releases for example.
