There might be a work around that suites your needs? # emerge -pv =gentoo-sources-3.10.28 These are the packages that would be merged, in order: Calculating dependencies... done! [ebuild NS ~] sys-kernel/gentoo-sources-3.10.28:3.10.28 [3.10.25:3.10.25, 3.13.0-r1:3.13.0-r1] USE="-build -deblob -experimental -symlink" 557 kB Total: 1 package (1 in new slot), Size of downloads: 557 kB Does that work for you? (Note: I also have this in my package.keywords: sys-kernel/gentoo-sources) hth, James James
