X-Archives-Salt: bd8b2953-7cac-491a-986e-77e42ab0ade5 X-Archives-Hash: 9b133f2346b49716d674d2eea0a5329a Well, 2.4.22_pre1 is newer than 2.4.21, however, 2.4.21 is the latest stable kernel from kernel.org. Portage would see 2.4.22_pre1 as newer and would merge it rather than 2.4.21 when someone installed vanilla-sources. The only effective way to separate them is to have them in a separate container.
