Well and it looks like I am SOL until grsec gets a version bump, lol. Otherwise I was about to add an ebuild in my overlay for it. I'm kind of looking forward to it actually, I want to check out nftables... not that I couldn't just grab 3.19 sources and compile it I just don't want to leave hardened-land I guess. https://grsecurity.net/test/grsecurity-3.0-3.17.7-201412170700.patch PS: Anyone have any idea how grsec versioning works? will they start supporting the 3.19 branch anytime soon?
