I did an emerge sync a few days ago. If I run emerge -s gentoo- sources
I get:
sys-kernel/gentoo-sources
Latest version available: 2.4.31-r1
Latest version installed: 2.6.14-r2
Size of downloaded files: 31,219 kB
Homepage: http://www.kernel.org/ http://www.gentoo.org/
Description: Full sources including the Gentoo patchset for the
2.4 kernel tree

sys-kernel/vanilla-sources
Latest version available: 2.6.15.1
Latest version installed: [ Not Installed ]
Size of downloaded files: 38,905 kB
Homepage: http://www.kernel.org
Description: Full sources for the Linux kernel

Do I have to switch to vanilla-sources now to get the latest kernel?
Won't I lose some newer features if I use 2.4.31-r1?
If I understand the above output correctly I have already installed the
gentoo-sources kernel, but now they have moved back to the 2.4 series.
Where can I find out what is going on?
Thanks for any clarification.
