Re: [gentoo-user] Easy (cough) way to build earlier gentoo-sources 3.18.x kernel?

Sorry folks - I guess I've made a right dogs dinner of this whole thread... I'll make more efforts not to be that noob next time :-) But I've got the information I needed about how to build old gentoo-sources kernels. So thanks! I've done my tests and the outcome is: 3.8.8 (gentoo-sources -

Neil, (a) Should I download the vanilla 3.18.1 kernel sources and apply all the gentoo-sources tar-ball patches in numerical order?? (b) I tried downloading the vanilla 3.18.8 kernel. But of course the earlier gentoo-sources 3.18.1 - 3.18.6 patches don't apply cleanly... Will I get to the same
