Hi, I'd like to officially RFC establishing the 'Distribution kernel' project. As the project page [1] says, our goal is to maintain sys- kernel/*-kernel packages. The goals are:
1. Covering kernel maintenance wholly within packages (install via emerge, upgrade as part of @world upgrade), without requiring additional actions from the user or resorting to nonportable hacks. 2. Providing a default configuration that works for most of diverse systems, for users who are not interested in configuring their own kernel from scratch. 3. Supporting different bootloaders and /boot layouts (LILO, GRUB, systemd-boot, EFI stub…) with minimal effort, including deploying self- built kernel binary packages over a fleet of heterogeneous systems.
