[gentoo-user] gentoo-sources-5.15.59 un-keyworded?

[J. Roeleveld]

Hi,

Is there a specific reason why the keywords (apart from hppa) have been removed 
from gentoo-sources-5.15.59?

I am seeing some issues with systems running this version, but not all. And as 
this is recent, I don't have an older kernel to quickly fall back to. 
Currently working on testing different versions to see if it is the kernel.

If anyone knows why this was done, please let me know. I couldn't find anything 
in b.g.o and my google-fu is failing me on this.

Many thanks,

Joost

Judging by the git log[1] and `eshowkw sys-kernel/gentoo-sources`[2], it
looks like it was part of a cleanup, a lot of old kernels were dropped.
5.15.59 presumably wasn't dropped because it's the latest stable on
hppa. I guess the other arches were unkeyworded to keep the list of
supported kernels somewhat reasonable.

Kind regards, tastytea
