Iis there any timeframe on that, BTW..? We already recommend using genkernel in the manual for 1.4, so moving this= =20 into an ebuild wouldn't be very different from how it is now. Personally, I= =20 am satisfied with how the kernels are done right now, but I brought it up=20 because it sounds like a feature that could be useful on some systems or by= =20 some people and it would fit more in with the current Portage setup where=20 everything is automaticly compiled. Though I would like to see the -src=20 suffix get in at some point even if the kernels stay the same. I keep /var/ tmp/portage, but sometimes it might be nice to have the sources in /usr/src= =20 too. I don't think Portage3 would be neccesary for this... It could probabl= y=20 be a few well placed lines in the current Portage to add it, though I suppo= se=20 I would say the same for sticky USE flags. Can a Portage dev comment on how= =20 complex/simple it would be to implement -src? =2D --=20 Luke-Jr Developer, Gentoo Linux http://www.gentoo.org/ =2D----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.2.3 (GNU/Linux) iD8DBQE/ftXRZl/BHdU+lYMRAv9oAJ99Z52pq+O8ydq1YCTnE6kLVu9J6gCfX208 XDTxmDFfoBlBpNrN9yFn6uQ=3D =3Da+lg =2D----END PGP SIGNATURE----- -- gentoo-dev@gentoo.org mailing list
