- grubles 10y ago"Beware though; using the testing branch might incur stability issues, imperfect package handling (for instance wrong/missing dependencies), too frequent updates (resulting in lots of building) or broken packages. Users that do not know how Gentoo works and how to solve problems, we recommend to stick with the stable and tested branch." https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/Handbook:X86/Portage/Branches#Testing https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/Handbook:X86/Portage/Branches#T... The most recent stable hardened-sources is 4.4.8-r1 which is ~6 months old.
- Hello71 10y agovanilla-sources isn't stabled at all. what's your point?
- grubles 10y agovanilla-sources is not supported by the Gentoo kernel team, so I would expect it to not be. hardened-sources, however, is supported. https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/Kernel/Overview#vanilla-sources https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/Kernel/Overview#vanilla-sources
