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. |
