[gentoo-dev] Suggestion: ebuilds linked to kernel upgrade

[Herbert G. Fischer]

There could be some way to remember users what installed packages need to be reemerged after a new kernel is installed.

I thought in this ideas:

- Patch kernel's "make" to warn at the end of "make modules_install"
- Warn user after any boot (during init.d stage). This script should detect the new kernel and warn users if some of the installed ebuilds need to be reemerged.

What do you think?
