There's also sys-kernel/gentoo-kernel but it's description is confusing as
hell: "Linux kernel built with Gentoo patches". Which to me sounds exactly
like gentoo-kernel-bin just with slightly different wording... :-/
The difference can be seen in the ebuild source U.R.I.s:
gentoo-kernel-bin: https://dev.gentoo.org/~mgorny/binpkg/amd64/kernel/
\
sys-kernel/gentoo-kernel/${MY_P}.xpak
gentoo-kernel: https://cdn.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/ ... +
patches from https://dev.gentoo.org/~mpagano/dist/genpatches
The wording is horrible, but as the suffix ("-bin") would suggest, the former is
a binary .xpak package, whereas the latter is base kernel sources with
additional Gentoo developers' patches.
I still don't understand what that means. If it's a pre-built kernel,
then it sounds the same as gentoo-kernel-bin. If it's sources, then it
sounds the same as gentoo-sources.
