This is no longer in the tree. You can update to the next stable
release
5.15.142, or keyword 5.15.147, if you want to remain on the 5.x.x
series.
I need to add 'fuse' support to my kernel
to allow file transfer from my cell phone,
so it seemed sensible to update to the latest stable version.
The current version is 6.1.27-gentoo-r1 , which I compiled 230726.
I was very surprised to find that the latest stable version is
6.1.67 ,
tho' 6.7.1 is listed as testing with others in between.
Isn't this a bit slow ? -- no complaint re the hard-working dev's,
of course.
Have there been problems with more recent versions ?
I'm reluctant to use a testing-version kernel.
All are 'Gentoo-sources', which is what I've always used since 2003.
The policy must be/should be around somewhere, but I recall
discussions about how many and which kernels (gentoo-sources, and
possibly others) will ever get marked Stable. I believe it is
something like only series marked "longterm" at kernel.org will get
marked stable, and I think it is not even all of them, although I
don't recall how they choose which in each series do get stabilized.
As 6.6 and 6.7 are "stable" at kernel.org, none of them will be
"stable" in Gentoo.
And clearly I'm wrong, at least partly, as 6.6.13 was just marked
stable.
