[gentoo-user] How to get an old ebuild

I am currently running kernel 2.6.25-r7 and have an emerge that fails because 
it can't find a Makefile for the kernel.  I somehow no longer can run 
genkernel, or emerge sys-kernel/gentoo-sources-2.6.25-r7.  I would rather not 
upgrade my kernel at this point--how can I find/emerge this slightly older 
kernel?

If you have a decent connection, I can email you mine.  I have the
following versions of gentoo-sources:

root@smoker / # ls -al /usr/src/
total 4
drwxr-xr-x  6 root root  256 Aug 30 04:15 .
drwxr-xr-x 17 root root  488 Sep  2 03:56 ..
-rw-r--r--  1 root root    0 Jun 11  2008 .keep
lrwxrwxrwx  1 root root   32 May 16 12:13 linux ->
/usr/src/linux-2.6.25-gentoo-r9/
drwxr-xr-x 20 root root 1392 Apr 16 17:01 linux-2.6.23-gentoo-r8
drwxr-xr-x 22 root root 1504 Sep  4 14:29 linux-2.6.25-gentoo-r9
drwxr-xr-x 22 root root  776 Aug 29 15:28 linux-2.6.30-gentoo-r4
drwxr-xr-x 22 root root  776 Sep  4 12:52 linux-2.6.30-gentoo-r5
root@smoker / #

I would assume you would want either 2.6.23 or 2.6.25 since they are
older with 2.6.25 being the closest to your desires of course.

Let me know if you want me to email them to you.
