Re: [gentoo-user] provided kernel
How about specified sys-kernel/gentoo-sources instead of vanilla in package.provided. If the nvidia ebuild depends on gentoo-sources and not vanilla-sources...then naturally it will pull in gentoo no matter how many vanilla kernels you have. I haven't tested any of that but it seems logical to me and might be worth a go :) I'll try. Btw, the nvidia-drivers depend on virtual/linux-sources iirc. Simon

That's what profiles are for. Nearly every Gentoo provided profile comes with some kind of kernel sources, mostly virtual/linux-sources. You'll need to create your own profile if you don't want them.
