[gentoo-dev] Dropping stable USE flags for 4.14
Hello, We have recently started the stabilization of gentoo-sources-4.14.8. Very soon we received reports regarding broken e1000e driver [1] and moved to gentoo-sources-4.14.8-r1. Since then we keep receiving new problems related to 4.14.x kernel: - IPSec is broken [2] - Change in 4.14.9 broke nVIDIA driver [3] - Colors on console are broken with some Radeon HD cards [4] - BUG report on boot [5] - Unbootable system with CONFIG_MCORE2 [6] - ...more bugs [7] While not all issues are present in gentoo-sources-4.14.8-r1 we are concerned about the current stability/quality of the 4.14.x branch in general and don't feel comfortable recommending 4.14.x branch for general use at the moment. But that's what a stable USE flag means for most Gentoo users. So, for now, we have decided to drop gentoo-sources-4.14.x stable keywords. We will keep watching 4.14 branch and once the stability/quality matches our requirements we will restart stabilization. Keep in mind: We are only dropping stable USE flags. If gentoo-sources-4.14.x works for you and you want to keep it, just keyword the package on your own!

Tried to bisect itm, w/o too much success, would have much more difficulties to bisect the remote headless server. Whilst both systems boot now again (I mainly had to switch to the generic CPU instead the Intel MCORE2 config option and removed few extra sanity chekcs and the GCC plugin and so on) I second you about the quality of the current 4.1.4.X tree, especially for X>=9. I complaint already at the LKML. -- Toralf PGP 23217DA7 9B888F45 signature.asc Description: OpenPGP digital signature
[gentoo-dev] [PATCH] l10n.eclass: Update for unexpanded LINGUAS.
---
This is meant to be merged after removal of LINGUAS from USE_EXPAND.
Any packages inheriting l10n.eclass but not using any of its functions
(i.e. relying only on the global scope snippet that adds linguas_* USE
flags) will be updated at the same time.

[gentoo-dev] Masking 4.12
Hello, We recently dropped the stable keywords for 4.14, but 4.12 (the next stable in gentoo-sources) is no more maintained from upstream. The last update that 4.12 got from upstream was 2017-09-20, and upstream is no more backporting security fixes since then. Because of this, we will proceed to mask 4.12. Keep in mind: If 4.14 works for you, you can keyword it and continue to use it, if you need a more stable kernel, please move to 4.9. -- Thanks, Alice Ferrazzi Gentoo Kernel Project Leader Gentoo Foundation Board Member Mail: Alice Ferrazzi PGP: 2E4E 0856 461C 0585 1336 F496 5621 A6B2 8638 781A
