Hi group,

After my last -uvDN world and subsequent revdep-rebuild and emerge
--depclean I found the main Makefile under /usr/src/linux was missing.
I managed to extract it from the sources and copy it over only to find
that, naturally,  many other files were missing too. I gave up after
the third extraction/copy pass. Which leads to the following:

1) What is the approved method of re-populating that all-important
directory, just untar the sources back in or ?

I just re-emerge the gentoo-sources package (or whatever you use instead).
I make a point of saving a copy of the most recent version of my kernel
.config file, though, in case the real one gets deleted somehow.
