I renamed this to gentoo-sources. Like this: root@fireball / # cat /etc/portage/sets.conf [gentoo-sources] class = portage.sets.dbapi.OwnerSet world-candidate = False files = /usr/src root@fireball / # > >> root@fireball / # cat /etc/portage/sets/kernels >> sys-kernel/gentoo-sources >> root@fireball / # > But not this.

[ebuild NS ~] sys-kernel/gentoo-sources-5.16.3:5.16.3::gentoo [5.6.7:5.6.7::gentoo, 5.10.46:5.10.46::gentoo, 5.14.15:5.14.15::gentoo, 5.15.17:5.15.17::gentoo] USE="-build -experimental -symlink" 120,568 KiB Total: 1 package (1 in new slot), Size of downloads: 120,568 KiB Would you like to merge these packages? [Yes/No] It still wants to upgrade. Could it be that something is pulling it in as a dependency or something? Am I still doing something wrong?

Thoughts? Thanks. Dale :-) :-)
