If you are +reading this then chances are you use and rely on installkernel[1] and +what follows is essential for you. + +Previously sys-kernel/installkernel was implicitly installed on many +systems via a dependency in sys-apps/debianutils. This dependency was +toggled by the "installkernel" USE flag, and enabled by default. + +Until recently, sys-apps/debianutils was in turn pulled in by +app-misc/ca-certificates, an essential package installed on many +systems. However, this dependency of app-misc/ca-certificates on +sys-apps/debianutils was removed[2]. As a result many users may find +that sys-apps/debianutils and therefore sys-kernel/installkernel are no +longer part of the dependency graph and will therefore be cleaned up by +"emerge --depclean". + +Removing sys-kernel/installkernel from your system WILL change the way +kernels are installed by "make install"! Instead of the versioned +/boot/vmlinuz-x.y.z that you are used to, "make install" will simply +copy bzImage (or equivalent for your arch) into /boot. This image may +not be picked up by your bootloader or its configuration tools. + +To avoid surprises from such implicit dependencies from happening again +in the future, the dependency on sys-kernel/installkernel in +sys-apps/debianutils is removed. And as such, sys-kernel/installkernel +is only installed on the system if it is either explicitly selected or +pulled in via the distribution kernels (e.g. gentoo-kernel(-bin)). + + +User Action Required (all users) +==================== + +Users who currently have sys-kernel/installkernel installed, must +ensure that it is explicitly selected by emerging it: + + emerge --noreplace sys-kernel/installkernel + +Users who find that sys-kernel/installkernel has already been cleaned +from their systems and are therefore affected by the change in kernel +installation described above should re-install sys-kernel/installkernel +and then re-install their kernel. + + emerge sys-kernel/installkernel + cd /usr/src/linux # (or other location of the kernel sources) + make install + +Note that this re-installation is not required for users of the +distribution kernels (e.g. gentoo-kernel(-bin)). + + +[1] https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/Installkernel +[2] https://gitweb.gentoo.org/repo/gentoo.git/commit/?id=6e6ccafd58bc7401fa371d2f255d72ddae0131e6 diff --git a/metadata/news/Manifest b/metadata/news/Manifest index 7754f3cada7c..8d104f678e65 100644 --- a/metadata/news/Manifest +++ b/metadata/news/Manifest @@ -1,23 +1,23 @@ -----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA512 -MANIFEST Manifest.files.gz 16949 BLAKE2B 9b8ecbdd697a427f20ca2d97da0f281c600291e550c7453a0600204bf307290b966bf9643b72625e530520ec5705529f09655572fff3b93464413cf55480f853 SHA512 62737cf53c402be7ced50622f2efb50ef6c78491ae97a38ebdb7facf1577db9042e75dc1446c32fe92d0fba7bca893daa58a19919ce30f7a8f77487668addd1a -TIMESTAMP 2024-03-12T18:10:11Z +MANIFEST Manifest.files.gz 17129 BLAKE2B fbbc7f41597c28056d7c0fe8bbfc61024ec0c59ec66791133516d3e1c7cdbab3f75017bb04135ae0e2fcdbb549b4b9dfce4b70d77ca385799d32824858a74ea1 SHA512 d92452fd840b2892b45b1bd9eacdf8d299334fbc14dadb0afb5ca5d82168addbbdc243b45229296d665513c1c43968cb26299d7b4f8fabdfde1bccc9a660bdb7 +TIMESTAMP 2024-03-13T00:10:16Z -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- -iQKTBAEBCgB9FiEE4dartjv8+0ugL98c7FkO6skYklAFAmXwmoNfFIAAAAAALgAo +iQKTBAEBCgB9FiEE4dartjv8+0ugL98c7FkO6skYklAFAmXw7uhfFIAAAAAALgAo aXNzdWVyLWZwckBub3RhdGlvbnMub3BlbnBncC5maWZ0aGhvcnNlbWFuLm5ldEUx RDZBQkI2M0JGQ0ZCNEJBMDJGREYxQ0VDNTkwRUVBQzkxODkyNTAACgkQ7FkO6skY -klCZiw//a3ZCKiuwvQWvT70F4eN0DpGUhHjNdWsC5ANccNWFRxxZZ6Wof+9Q3ezT -Gl4wy3uGTfJzc4zvKQqCFCLPwF+Ts6C1ygG7lMEF9OzdZJXFdSkztaPkPX5PTjNu -HiwATRMUOGKR8TLDpz2VuG1d/1j+yveQLpU5Bw+p2aFFDCnQw2p8qZ8gkgKN+btX -+eNHE2YKHcubChDoy8IxNGXmFrBJYRq7Okf4jUrf0C03eSb8S6qD/bsxOAWHftjF -XKvoDtAJJMlaXLkziCZ0V2w620Cxak7+OUwQz13O+cH6B8JJ5zjILj2IymHYWofv -obNoIdeKPGQS8VLPE8T2OgMfjjbh9hGuCbYI77Fy6AmeWvNDeZYg+bQWcM/GUA8S -N0P8qzJOpqriFE9eMnfu36D0Zd8tm/OtcXvExu3JF+1rC9z+P7moE1700sWZI+4b -+fO99RGWZpza2oKULRoQ+bmRQbtSCDGqcYgnaaX7JycV/XX0du4HnLiiHGDBZbQt -001VxOqp/izL/bNLaBobLc+TAUXIHUGTOHI19e/24Yq/fZV2M+rV/UUE5CDMKxjO -LSL76kh7HGBsctnVpv1+6hM3SR5wjwFBcpzEkXrQfUZKh4YRp5CVO7PE96LwGJ/+ -w63t+VM6MClyAxEEww63BUNItSNcgckvHXmS1oXb4Qubpc4PqQk= -=ceSC +klBvLA/+JxKforz9qdZby3DAA/1SbR0BJQnkXMw6axWMsyzZpHNOzmUekunlEQh8 +1um5CendJ2Jgf4h/lfVdCadaXLDl9+2Ct95Tdi5aRo0qyaZmio9E9cQOglOo4s1d +AwCMRRDBeQdWlgSQ31KdD7jb2nRf/XluLOTwBOzJl2D/7XYb5WZUkg0SmBZjLaTn +ETjb2o35ZybxpkuMT+kQ2CVNP+sA+2EO+3+xW3I6RC0fquqSfja4X+WfT967ujzK +XbAJdXC+Oh1XE9LvqmgufLYw50eQMHFW5ZPGGkvQPxFxdl73Sp8JrFsHyx0JC4ey +APvPJ/x9mDL4XSH7hRteE2HycJWWmKf07SrYuItaN9kuJcadlYWjKxHKaWw4Umww +UcjPG27bLYFPMpDKIn71Tzqg4bjbS2BF/J+zIU8x5A8iaSJImSP/lnfkytC0Mvp/ +3evbrLDlmWZmeivXGhSyZwITkZu83SddlWC0/D6bOyn6qrReOCl3/kWv2OrXT/av +/6e/abDnDDOgEwKgO/vc4jjx5a6BLNdSj1EzwMYwZegT9F0Upjrs+jsFHIlZqzUw +iEmsoJXRm8AeT1IXZFJQxbF9t1HQj1yWDPH+cVRA5DBiLEp6G8Fn31OfR3SMyM/3 +EdP5eed+nPOA5rF39z60Lk70svvb8O+WTaQ4YDNtICS4n0NBrgg= +=EPcc -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- diff --git a/metadata/news/Manifest.files.gz b/metadata/news/Manifest.files.gz index f2e7da2fdd83..2e64ad34dae8 100644 Binary files a/metadata/news/Manifest.files.gz and b/metadata/news/Manifest.files.gz differ diff --git a/metadata/news/timestamp.chk b/metadata/news/timestamp.chk index 22ca475b15ad..70f31c63a622 100644 --- a/metadata/news/timestamp.chk +++ b/metadata/news/timestamp.chk @@ -1 +1 @@ -Tue, 12 Mar 2024 18:10:07 +0000 +Wed, 13 Mar 2024 00:10:12 +0000 diff --git a/metadata/news/timestamp.commit b/metadata/news/timestamp.commit index b6f4f74f6973..f28f3eff6ae0 100644 --- a/metadata/news/timestamp.commit +++ b/metadata/news/timestamp.commit @@ -1 +1 @@ -0326966428338218af7df5a32560d27e666c5f4b 1708418681 2024-02-20T08:44:41+00:00 +3f723d16c712dbeb428052edbcc25b7c5a3153db 1710267181 2024-03-12T18:13:01+00:00 -- cgit v1.2.3
