Are you using a popular, common portage mirror or a custom or rarely
used portage mirror? It's possible, though not likely, the
portage mirror you're using is a very old, rarely updated mirror (read:
6 months, I just recently upgraded my 2.6.11-r6 kernel to the newest,
2.6.13-r3 kernel). do an emerge --search gentoo-sources. I
assume you're using or attempting to use the gentoo-sources because you
make no mention of the kernel variant. If you indeed to sync with
an up-to-date portage mirror, your search results should return
something similar to this:
[ Results for search key : gentoo-sources ]
[ Applications found : 1 ]
* sys-kernel/gentoo-sources
Latest version available: 2.6.13-r3
Latest version installed: 2.6.13-r3
Size of downloaded files: 37,672 kB
Homepage: http://dev.gentoo.org/~dsd/genpatches
Description: Full sources including the gentoo patchset for the 2.6 kerne tree
License: GPL-2
Latest version installed, however, will probably be different. I
would also try emerging the sources manually by specifying the
version: emerge -pv
=sys-kernel/gentoo-sources-2.6.13-r3
And see what happens. if it gives you an error saying there
are no ebuilds to satisfy your request, then you have an out-of-date
portage sync.On 10/10/05, maxim wexler [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote:
