I made a mistake since I thought what you are talking about is *linux26-headers* instead of *linux-headers-2.6*, and *linux26-headers* is unmasked while *linux-headers-2.6* masked.
Now I'm confused with this two ebuilds. What's the differences between
them?
The linux kernel normally has 2 (or 3) versions available. The latest even minor version ("unstable"), the minor version before that ("stable"), and sometime the latest odd minor version ("development"). [Actually, this policy may have changed; Linus seems to really like just using mm-sources as a "development" line.]
linux-headers (and gentoo-sources and vanilla-sources) reflect the current stable version [according to /gentoo/, which will generally be the "stable" kernel version or late-cycle "unstable"]. linux??-headers (and gentoo-dev-sources and development sources) reflect the current unstable version [again, according to /gentoo/, which will generally be the "ustable" kernel version].
Then should I exactly use linux-headers with gentoo-sources and
accordingly only use linux??-headers with gentoo-dev-sources?
Or (linux-headers + gentoo-dev-sources) || (linux??-headers +
gentoo-sources) is OK, too?
The first two are correct, the latest 2 may work
