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.
