Subject: [gentoo-portage-dev] multiple kernel driver emerges
Date: Thu, 01 Jan 2004 23:16:30 -0800 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <1073027790.3678.24.camel@big_squirt.dol-sen.ca> (raw)
A problem that I (and others) have is portage unmerging kernel drivers
from an existing kernel when emerging them to a new kernel.
ala
emerge nvidia-kernel
emerge alsa-driver
unmerges the driver from your current kernel before you have a known
good new kernel.
Is there a current method for doing so that I missed? If not could an
additional protected flag be set to prevent unmerging if the kernel
version is different than the last emerge of the driver, similar to the
slot #?
it would make life a lot easier for noobs & non experts to work out
kerenel configs without messing up a working kernel.
