I am not against providing a gentoo-sources binary kernel package with a sound setup to suite gentoo-needs and `make allmodconfig` to give the less enthusiastic `make nconfig` button pushers something to boot their fresh installs with -- and never move away from it. As long as it's slot-ed and proper CONFIG_LOCALVERSION'ed* aka having more than one version installed to do downgrades and tests. (*) Meaning, the modules dir should change with every release to avoid loading outdated out of tree modules, and the kernel files in /boot should not clash. Suggesting to run `grub2-mkconfig -o /boot/grub/grub.cfg` would be nice, too. *enough* - -- Michael Weber Gentoo Developer web: https://xmw.de/ mailto: Michael Weber -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v2.0.20 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Using GnuPG with Thunderbird - http://www.enigmail.net/ iF4EAREIAAYFAlHSlOcACgkQknrdDGLu8JCRhAEAhpl7vsTVmo9CPARie4kWznTd cam1MmdcRejlpkiOeiUA/0Nn0Q7cERzPyXkiwFO5bbprB9OUMFNrXlygp5Hb8KVn =UjWq -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
