No, I'm not running archkernel on gentoo, but it would be possible. It's also fine to poke around in linus' sources and cross compile w/o ever running the damn thing or needing firmware from /lib/firmware. Anyway, please do not force-reinstall of about 400k kernel source files to just fix any USE flag constellation. I'm not saying --newuse, just people forgetting to set the flag. Last thought, we have maintainer-needed in bugzilla to handle unmaintained packages (and I'm looking at these from time to time, maybe I should start a maintainer-needed herd). /$(get_libdir) vs /lib is the wrong method without effect, non-multilib/x86 installs to /lib, multilib is linked to /lib. So please, stop using dramatizing this and use it as alibi for your otherwise justified plans. -- Michael Weber Gentoo Developer web: https://xmw.de/ mailto: Michael Weber
