You can also do that with sets. Add this to sets.conf [kernels] class = portage.sets.dbapi.OwnerSet world-candidate = False files = /usr/src add emerge -n @kernels once. Then depclean will never touch a kernel source package. > > ... > > Should I version the > > system.map file the same as kernels? > > Not sure about that. Mine ARE versioned. That's probably what "grub- > mkconfig" is doing by default. grub-mkconfig only reads the files, it is the make install step of kernel installation that takes care of copying the files to /boot with the correct version numbers. ISTR Dale prefers to copy the kernel files manually, which is why his System.map is not versioned. -- Neil Bothwick Suborbital Ballistic-Propulsion Engineer Not Exactly A Rocket Scientist
