Hello, Im new to gentoo but I have a grasp on good practices. Just need a little advice. I updated today and got the linux-6.1.69-gentoo-dist downloaded. I currently have my configured 6.1.67 kernel and dont want to use the dist kernel. I tried to emerge the kernel sources but its still the version 6.1.67. I tried searching to see if the dist kernels get updated before the sources but I couldnt find much info. Im wondering if thats true or do I need to point my emerge at the 6.1.69 to get the regular kernel sources? Also my eselect only displays the new dist kernel and my 6.1.67 kernel I am currently on.

The developers need their time to check their things before they can release the stable. This leads to a small time difference between gentoo-sources, gentoo-kernel and gentoo-kernel-bin for almost every kernel version.

Are you not using gentoo-kernel(-bin) anymore? Then it might be advisable to remove this from the world file to avoid future updates.

Code:
emerge --deselect gentoo-kernel && emerge --depclean
or
emerge --deselect gentoo-kernel-bin && emerge --depclean


If you have deselected and removed it, please also check for file corpses in /boot/ & /lib/modules/ & /usr/src/

Thanks for the reply! I understand now and I appreciate the tip on how not to receive those updates. I should have thought of that.
