+Title: Libre Kernel Gentoo USE Flag and Fixes
+Author:  projectmoon <projectmoon@agnos.is>
+Posted: 2023-03-29
+Revision: 1
+News-Item-Format: 2.0
+
+The libre-kernel ebuilds now have the main Linux-libre release URLs as
+fallback SRC_URIs, in case the mirror hosting the files is down. The
+mirrors exist because sometimes the Linux-libre project removes releases
+if they discover that the release violates the Free Software
+Distribution guidelines. While good for freedom purity, this can make
+upgrades difficult. Thus, the files are mirrored on an external for the
+libre-kernel ebuilds.
