Announcing night-sources, for all your uvesafb and fbsplash needs. Yet another(?) custom kernel source. This one's lightweight, with minimal patches. A refreshing blend of spices, uvesafb, and other natural flavors. Serve hot or well-chilled. More information, sources, and instructions available on its homepage.

As usual, it's not an officially supported package. Don't bug any Gentoo or Linux kernel developers about it. That being said, it runs just fine on my machines. It's quite low-risk, which is just as well, considering it's not much more than a vanilla kernel with framebuffer-related patches. It's endearingly unpretentious.

Should be nicely usable on non-Gentoo distros as well. Get it if y'want it.

New revision available, -r2. This adds a few patches I whipped up for being able to select a custom Gentoo "G" logo at boot time, instead of Tux the penguin. Penguins are cute, but Gentoo logo > generic penguin.
