possibly not. the gentoo-sources package has its own revision numbers (the -r* bit). that's not saying that the changes in the vanilla-sources (kernel.org with no extra patches) aren't included, but there's no real association between vanilla 2.6.11.4 and gentoo 2.6.11-r4 aside from the fact that they're both based on the kernel.org 2.6.11 release. looking at the patches included in gentoo-sources-2.6.11-r6 (latest stable gentoo-sources), it includes the patches for 2.6.11.6, but there the numbers aren't guaranteed to match up like that. disclaimer: i'm not one of the maintainers for gentoo-sources. they could have made a decision to hold revisions of gentoo-sources for the new "stable" patches that greg kh maintains in order to keep the revision numbers matching. -- trey -- [email protected] mailing list
