All currently stabilized vanilla-sources +versions will be dropped to ~arch. The Arch teams, via normal requests +of the Kernel Team, will continue to stabilize gentoo-sources kernels +upon request. This decision is based on the facts that upstream is now +releasing approximately 1-2 vanilla-sources kernels a week. Arch teams, +understandably, are unable to keep up with this rate of release. As +most vanilla releases contain security fixes, the user who only runs +stable vanilla-sources will consistently be behind and potentially at +risk. For the latest "upstream kernel unpatched by Gentoo", we +recommend users add 'sys-kernel/vanilla-sources' to their +package.accept_keywords file. gentoo-sources will continue to be a +tested and supported version for Gentoo users. + + +Note: This news item only applies to gentoo-sources and vanilla-sources. +Other kernels currently maintained in portage have their own policies +and procedures in place today. diff --git a/metadata/news/2013-08-07-vanilla-sources-stablization-policy/2013-08-07-vanilla-sources-stablization-policy.en.txt.asc b/metadata/news/2013-08-07-vanilla-sources-stablization-policy/2013-08-07-vanilla-sources-stablization-policy.en.txt.asc new file mode 100644 index 000000000000..15d4273a8013 --- /dev/null +++ b/metadata/news/2013-08-07-vanilla-sources-stablization-policy/2013-08-07-vanilla-sources-stablization-policy.en.txt.asc @@ -0,0 +1,7 @@ +-----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- +Version: GnuPG v2.0.20 (GNU/Linux) + +iEYEABEIAAYFAlIC3doACgkQPDPGULV25OPdCQCgkpul7iG1gHDz/3g2Moiyzf1e +7RcAoMSXVGgEojsUoeQxA4UZXGaTcs/o +=I2Cp +-----END PGP SIGNATURE----- |
