The problem with that is that putting together a patchset such as -love requires a lot more work than just applying some patches on top of -mm. Usually some hunks fail, and they have to be fixed by hand. You'd need a different patch for feature X depending on whether or not you were using feature Y.

don't you think it'll be cool to have a bleeding-edge kernel ebuild (based on the -mm patchset) that lets you determine the patches you want such as staircase, reiser4, supermount, and etc through USE-flags? that is to have that instead of all the different love, redeeman, evil, and so on sources - it seems to me that it's a waste of time to have 3 different groups of people trying to keep up with the latest kernel craze

say
Quote:
USE="staircase reiser4" emerge superduper-sources


or something like that


i believe someone implemented this into xx-sources. But I really can't remember.
