[gentoo-user] Quick quesition regarding "linux-2.6.31.x" and "gentoo-sources-2.6.31-rx"

[Marcus Wanner]

I was just wondering if a package such as "gentoo-sources-2.6.31-r6" 
uses kernel 2.6.31.6, or just 2.6.31. I have been digging through 
timestamps and the like for a while, but I just can't figure it out.

Thanks, and sorry for my noobishness.

In addition to the link Eray posted, you can also always check

It uses a tarball and patches:


$$ ( cd /usr/portage/distfiles ; ls -l *2.6.31* )

Ok, so gentoo-sources-2.6.31-r6 uses the 2.6.31 tarball (I'm assuming to 
save downloading most of it again), but includes the patches to change 
that version to 2.6.31.6. Thank you.
