Check the profile you are using. Usually when the dev sources are masked it is because your profile is old.Hi
I'm currently on to my very first Gentoo installation and just sitting around waiting for my system to finish the bootstrap.sh. Meanwhile I've been looking around a great deal and started to think about what kernel-package to use. I can't see any reason for not going with a 2.6-kernel and I suppose that is the way Gentoo's default will be moving as well. In doing so I thought using the gentoo-sources already now would save me some time over going with gentoo-dev-sources now and later switch to gentoo-sources. However, all version 2.6.x are masked in gentoo-sources. 2.6.11-r4 is marked as stable, but still masked. I can see the very same version is available in gentoo-dev-sources. Would it then be ok for me to
echo "=kernel/gentoo-sources-2.6.11-r4" >> /etc/portage/package.unmask
in order to avoid having to switch packages later on? Or am I missing some heavy reason why the 2.6.x kernels is masked in gentoo-sources?
