 |
|
I want to install the latest kernel source, how do I do that with portage ?
I would ideally use genkernel to make a base config out of it and then subtract crap ...
Thanks |

276 # =sys-kernel/gentoo-sources-3.8.13 is masked due to multiple security bugs:
277 #
278 # 1. Security Bug #475618: CVE-2013-1059:
279 # Linux Kernel: Ceph: NULL Pointer Dereference Denial of Service Vulnerability
280 #
281 # 2. Security Bug #480200: CVE-2013-4205:
282 # Linux Kernel: CLONE_NEWUSER local DoS
283 #
284 # 3. Security Bug #482896: From CVE-2013-2888 to CVE-2013-2899:
285 # Linux Kernel: HID security flaws (Memory writes and leaks, NULL DoS, etc...)
286 #
287 # This kernel also contains other security bugs due to its old age (May 11).
288 #
289 # We advice users to upgrade to the new stable kernel 3.10.7; alternatively, if
290 # necessary, users can also choose to accept keywords and accept a kernel from
291 # the earlier long term stable branches (3.0.X or 3.4.Y), this might be the case
292 # if you have older hardware or an unfortunate stability bug on 3.10.7.
293 #
294 # You can accept keywords by adding sys-kernel/gentoo-sources to the file
295 # /etc/portage/package.accept_keywords after which you can run
296 # `emerge sys-kernel/gentoo-sources:X.Y.Z` to select a specific LTS kernel.
297 # When you choose to turn back to stable later, don't forget to remove that.
298 #
299 # For proprietary NVIDIA drivers users, we temporarily keep 3.9.11-r1 around
300 # as some of them experience problems with the new stable kernel 3.10.7; we aim
301 # to mask it in one of the next weeks when the time is right.

This approach allows Gentoo to have Slotted Kernels, while maintaining the approach of every other distro(one kernel fits all) Slotting kernels is not for everyone, hence the above comment.

Not a problem, in your case, after adding sys-kernel/gentoo-sources to accept_keywords type | Code: | | emerge sys-kernel/gentoo-sources:3.11.5 |
