Hi, look here: https://github.com/mgorny/gentoo-kernel-config In names of gentoo "packages" the -bin suffix indicates that it is a pre-built, binary package, so the maintainers use a configuration, build the kernel and upload everything as a binary package. Portage than installs the binary package when you would call 'emerge --ask gentoo-kernel-bin'. Some hints for reading ebuilds and finding stuff: The ebuilds are basically bash scripts, and to find functions called inside each ebuild you can search in the eclasses dir in https://gitweb.gentoo.org/repo/gentoo.git/tree/eclass while you can find (most) of the eclass names from the line starting with 'inherit'. To find e.g. the link to the config I used the following workflow. Maybe it'll be of usage for you, too: https://packages.gentoo.org -> gentoo-kernel -> Git repository browser -> choose the package version -> link below: https://gitweb.gentoo.org/repo/gentoo.git/tree/sys-kernel/gentoo-kernel/gentoo-kernel-5.12.15.ebuild#n20 Kind regards, Nils
