Hello,
Currently virtual/linux-sources-2.6 depends on sys-kernel/foo-2.6*, should we
create virtual/linux-sources-3.0 (and start fixing ebuilds depending on
=virtual/linux-sources-2.6) or just change virtual/linux-sources-2.6 to depend
on >=2.6 ? Opinions?
Side note, with only vanilla-sources-3.0 installed:
* Dependencies could not be completely resolved due to
* the following required packages not being installed:
*
* =sys-kernel/gentoo-sources-2.6* pulled in by:
* virtual/linux-sources-2.6

I think we should go with the second solution, change linux-sources-2.6
to depend on >=2.6. There's no reason to add another virtual ebuild for
3.0 (would we have to add separate ebuilds for 4.0, 5.0 etc?)
Btw, I found this mail [1] on gentoo-dev mailing list, about
virtual/linux-sources.

Currently version 3.0 is only available with vanilla-sources and
gentoo-sources. Therefore the problem is that virtual/linux-sources-3
would pull in one of these even for users of other *-sources (e.g.
hardened).
On the other hand, allowing versions 3.* as dependency of
virtual/linux-sources-2.6 might be confusing.
Therefore, my suggestion would be as follows:
1. Temporarily change the dependency in virtual/linux-sources-2.6
to >=2.6 in order to resolve the current issues with dependencies.
2. Later, when most of *-sources are available in version 3.*, revert
linux-sources-2.6 to the current dependency and create
virtual/linux-sources-3. (I think the version should be just 3 and
not 3.0, unless you want a virtual for 3.0, 3.1, etc.)
Or, a completely different approach: Drop the versioning of the
virtual altogether and have only virtual/linux-sources-0. (This might
cause some minor problems for users of 2.4 profiles, but I'd guess
that the remaining users are experienced enough to handle that.)

What about going with #1 and let's fix the description in
virtual/linux-sources-2.6 to clearly state that it's '2.6 or newer' -- that
could solve the issue at hand and also not confuse everyone.
In the long run I'm in favour of dropping the version from virtual, but this
will be possible when 2.4 is deprecated and removed. Otherwise it's problematic.

Having separate versions for 2.6 and 3.0 doesn't make much sense. The
are no 'incompatibilities' or major changes between 2.6 and 3 to justify
a separate version/ebuild (unlike the 2.4 -> 2.6 transition). The only
change is the version digits.
I'd prefer the second solution. Could you be more specific about the
problems that users of 2.4 profiles could encounter by that change?
Thanks,

Take a look at this:
.../portage/profiles$ grep -Hr virtual/linux-sources * | grep -v ChangeLog
selinux/packages:>=virtual/linux-sources-2.6
uclibc/sh/2.4/packages:<virtual/linux-sources-2.5
uclibc/arm/2.4/packages:<virtual/linux-sources-2.5
uclibc/arm/armeb/2.4/packages:<virtual/linux-sources-2.5
uclibc/ppc/2.4/packages:<virtual/linux-sources-2.5
uclibc/ppc/hardened/2.4/packages:<virtual/linux-sources-2.5
uclibc/x86/2005.1/2.4/packages:<virtual/linux-sources-2.5
uclibc/x86/2.4/packages:<virtual/linux-sources-2.5
uclibc/x86/hardened/2.4/packages:<virtual/linux-sources-2.5
use.local.desc:virtual/linux-sources:xrc - Add support for infiniband xrc
Note the dependency that forces users of some profiles to have linux-sources-2.4
installed. If we go with unversioned (or to be precise: version 0) virtual those
would match any kernel, not only 2.4.x.

I like the idea of dropping versioning altogether to avoid the problems
of upstream changing versioning again --- what happens when 4.x comes
out? But a quick grep of the tree shows atoms like this:
<virtual/linux-sources-2.5
It may be more than just minor problems.

It's better to fix what's broken part and avoid fixing something that
works...

Meanwhile ssuominen had committed virtual/linux-sources-3 which
expectedly led to bug 376461. I've removed that ebuild again
and, as a short-term solution, changed dependencies in
linux-sources-2.6 to >=2.6.

Coming back to this. The above dependency is only found in the
profiles/uclibc/*/2.4/packages files, where it is always part of the
following group:
<sys-kernel/linux-headers-2.5
<sys-kernel/gentoo-sources-2.5
<sys-kernel/hardened-sources-2.5
<sys-kernel/vanilla-sources-2.5
<virtual/linux-sources-2.5
The dependency on <sys-kernel/*-sources-2.5 should be enough to ensure
that no newer kernel sources are pulled in.
Apart from these profiles, nothing in the tree depends on
linux-sources-2.4 any more. So I'd say that we could drop versioning
of the virtual altogether.
