As indeed there is: eix gentoo-sources * sys-kernel/gentoo-sources Available versions: 2.4.28-r9 2.6.9-r9 2.6.10-r6 2.6.11-r8 2.6.11-r11 [M]2.6.12-r3 [M]2.6.12-r4 Installed: 2.6.11-r8 2.6.11-r11 Homepage: http://dev.gentoo.org/~dsd/gentoo-dev-sources Description: Full sources including the gentoo patchset for the 2.6 kernel tree > How do I get it? Try this: emerge -av =sys-kernel/gentoo-sources-2.4.28-r9 Don't forget to add >sys-kernel-2.4.28-r9 to /etc/portage/package.mask, or Portage will keep trying to upgrade you. If there's a 2.4-series upgrade, that will also be blocked, but you are likely to be keeping an eye open for any such updates, and can adjust your package.mask accordingly. > Thanks!!
