You can use git. I believe gentoo patches are only for config options so if you configure it with make oldconfig it *should* be the same as using gentoo- sources. cd /usr/src git clone git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/stable/linux- stable.git cd linux-stable git checkout v3.18.9 make oldconfig make You can checkout any version committed prior to your last "git pull" instantly. -- Fernando Rodriguez
