[gentoo-user] world update wants to downgrade genoo-sources
A recent world update wanted to install a lower version of gentoo-source as a new slot. [ebuild NS] sys-kernel/gentoo-sources-3.14.14:3.14.14 [3.14.16:3.14.16] USE=-build -deblob -experimental -symlink 0 kB I can't say I've had that happen before. I've noticed that the ebuild for my current version of gentoo-sources is not in the portage tree any more. So my guess is that the only gentoo-sources ebuild intended for x86 stable is gentoo-sources-3.14.14: grep ' x86' `pwd`/gentoo-sources-3.1[4-7]* /usr/portage/sys-kernel/gentoo-sources/gentoo-sources-3.14.14.ebuild:KEYWORDS=alpha amd64 arm ~arm64 hppa ia64 ~mips ~ppc ~ppc64 ~s390 ~sh sparc x86 The list's advice on the matter would be appreciated.

Do you know about eix? eix gentoo-sources immediately shows you that the only stable version is 3.14.14 which is why portage is merging it. The fact that it's a new slot lower5 than something you had - that is incidental -- Alan McKinnon alan.mckin...@gmail.com

I'll wait for the stable gentoo-sources that are a higher version than what I have at the moment to become available in the portage tree.

Just let portage merge the highest stable version. You can continue using the one you already have, portage only installs the sources, not the kernel. However, you may want to investigate why that version has been removed, there may be vulnerabilities or bugs fixed in a later point release and you should keyword that version. -- Neil Bothwick I've got a mind like a... a... what's that thing called? signature.asc Description: PGP signature

Dan Thanks for the tip. I was aware of eix, but didn't have it installed, or used it until after Alan suggested it. I do have app-portage/gentoolkit installed, but wasn't aware of nor ever used eshowkw. Thanks for pointing it out. I'll look into it. The grep command line I used my original email seemed to fit the bill at the time given the statements I made above.
