as you can see, a patch for the vulnerability CAN-2003-0985 has been 
added to the mm-sources (among others). it is also mentioned that the 
old ebuilds were cleaned up.

I would suggest you update both your machines to 2.6.2_rc2-r1.

which 2.6 kernel sources are most stable and can be recommended for a
stable production system (web server/mysql server).
Since I don't run a real production system I can't answer this one. But 
AFAIK mm-sources aren't the right choice for production systems.

[gentoo-user] help!!! mm-sources-2.6.1-r5 are gone!!!

[Thomas Mandl]

hi list,

I've noticed that my sys-kernel/mm-sources-2.6.1-r5.ebuild is gone! 
a machine (setup about 10 days ago) was built with these kernel sources,
and now I was trying to setup another identical machine, but the above
named sources are gone!!!

after an emerge sync (about 10 min. ago) I could only find
mm-sources-2.6.2_rc1-r2, rc1-r3 and rc2-r1.

any ideas?

which 2.6 kernel sources are most stable and can be recommended for a
stable production system (web server/mysql server).

many thanks in advance
tom
