[gentoo-dev] Need design help/input for eclean-kernel

Hello, everyone. Back in 2011 I started a project called eclean-kernel. The idea was pretty simple -- to have a tool that would clean the old kernels for me since their install is not controlled by the package manager. This little project of mine seems to have gained a lot of popularity. Sadly,

As someone using eclean-kernel somewhat regularly, I figured I should mention what running `make all modules_install install` in the kernel source looks like: $ ls -F1 /boot config-4.6.0-gentoo config-4.6.1-gentoo config-4.6.2-gentoo config-4.6.3-gentoo efi/ grub/ initramfs-4.6.0-gentoo.img

[gentoo-dev] why is the security team running around p.masking packages

I'm going to ask the security team to please stop running around p.masking packages without acknowledgement from the maintainers. I'm referring in particular to commit 135b94c85950254f559f290f4865bce8b349a917 regarding monkeyd. Both of the cited "security bugs" were long fixed, and even if the
