As I said, I switched to vanilla-sources more than five years ago; and I remember that was the case back then. Certainly I should not have assumed that it was still that way now; I apologize for that. > Generally-speaking vanilla-sources and gentoo-sources tend to be > updated within a day or two of a new stable kernel release.

Afterwards, it was decided that vanilla-sources would be always be ~arch, so probably I kept the idea in my mind that gentoo-sources was lagging much more than vanilla-sources, since with ~arch vanilla-sources is updated almost immediately. > Maybe if you caught somebody on vacation I could see gentoo-sources > lagging a bit, or if there was some debate over whether to include > some patch in it... You are right, I apologize for the confussion. Regards. -- Canek Peláez Valdés Profesor de asignatura, Facultad de Ciencias Universidad Nacional Autónoma de México
