The latest libre-kernel ebuild (6.1.2) has been revised to support a new
|
||
|
|
gentoo USE flag, as well as fixes to the kernel configuration version.
|
||
|
|
The new USE flag applies a subset of the Gentoo kernel patchset (from
|
||
|
|
the gentoo-kernel package) to the Linux-libre kernel source. Most of the
|
||
|
|
patches apply, but the larger patchsets for the kernel do not, in many
|
||
|
|
cases because it seems like those patches have already been applied to
|
||
|
|
the upstream source.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Applying of the Gentoo kernel patchset is controlled by the new local
|
||
|
|
USE flag gentoo. It is enabled by default. The USE flag can be disabled
|
||
|
|
by turning it off in /etc/portage/package.use:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
sys-kernel/libre-kernel -gentoo
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Note: whether or not the USE flag is enabled, the patch for the default
|
||
|
|
Gentoo kernel configuration will always be applied.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Additionally, the Gentoo kernel config version has been fixed in the r1
|
||
|
|
ebuild. The kernel configuration applied was being used from a 5.x
|
||
|
|
build. In the future, the correct kernel config version will follow the
|
||
|
|
gentoo-kernel package.
