 3. Check the `gentoo-kernel` ebuild for changes to the Gentoo config and
    patches versions.
 4. If the Gentoo patchset version has changed:
-   1. Update the patchset version in the `libre-kernel` ebuild.
-   2. Extract the patchset from the `gentoo-kernel` ebuild and see if
-      there are any new patches, or patches removed.
-   2. Most patches aside from the `1000`- series that patch the entire
-      kernel should work.
-   3. Add all new patches that apply to the patchset in the ebuild.
-   4. Make sure ebuild applies patches with `ebuild
-      libre-kernel-X.Y.Z.ebuild clean prepare`.

+   1. Make sure the patch version offset thingy matches gentoo-kernel.
+   2. Make sure config version is the same.
+   3. Make sure the config hash is the same.
+   4. Make sure ebuild applies config changes with `ebuild
       libre-kernel-X.Y.Z.ebuild clean prepare`.
+5. Run `pkgdev manifest` to have portage download the libre kernel files
+   and update the manifest.
 5. Attempt to build the kernel using `ebuild libre-kernel-X.Y.Z.ebuild
    clean merge`. You might need to use `sudo` or `doas` for this.

+6. Update `virtual/dist-kernel` package to new version, by copying the
+   proper dist-kernel ebuild from the gentoo repo, and adding
+   `sys-kernel/libre-kernel` to its list of possible deps.
+7. Make sure `virtual/linux-sources` is up to date. This package rarely
+   changes, but updating it follows the same procedure as
+   `virtual/dist-kernel`.
 
 If the build succeeds, the new ebuilds can be pushed to the repository.
