He was using GS-Sources, which is a highly changing kernel.. Its got all kinds of Patches and so forth. so its updated constantly.. Like I said yesterday, most of the kernels are not updated all the time unless your using these development kernels. So there is no reason to add functionality

I've only been using Gentoo for a few weeks. I've tried different kernels in that time and have been happily using gs-sources. It's the newest available, I think. Anyway, in these three weeks, I started with pre6 and less than a week ago, a pre7 became available. While researching my last

[gentoo-user] an idea

2003-10-27 Thread blade-
Would it be possible to have the kernel updates as a separate class. I mean like have system, world and kernel. some of the kernels get updated quite frequently, most of the time i don't use the updates as i am trying to get a good uptime. i only want to update the kernel if it fixes a bug i

What kernel you using that is updated so often?? if its 2.6, thats the price you pay for using it as its always going to be updated.. why not just use protage.mask and then when you want to update your kernel, remove it... Just keep up with the announce list in case of security concerns..

no wonder, that thing has every fix and addition in the world.. Like I said, there is portage.mask for that sorta thing. Just take it out when you feel like upgrading.. You want all that additional stuff in your kernel, there is gonna be that much more being fixed in it.. Why push a new

I really like this idea, and I think it might be desireable for gentoo servers (who should RARELY upgrade a kernel). Send this idea to the dev list. Nathaniel On Mon, 2003-10-27 at 17:30, blade- wrote: i use the gs sources, had an update today and a few days ago Jeffrey Smelser wrote:

[gentoo-user] portage Idea

2003-02-28 Thread Stephen Turner
hey i wanted to mention an idea for portage here so if its a good idea it could be worked out before going into bugtrax er what not to bug the developers, but anyways the idea was having updates done in patches (if source still exists on upgradeing machine) to the current source, perhaps reducing
