I have run sys-kernel/ck-sources for years and it has been working well. Just updated and got this message:
!!! The following installed packages are masked: - sys-kernel/ck-sources-5.4.48::gentoo (masked by: package.mask) /var/db/repos/gentoo/profiles/package.mask: # Joonas Niilola <juip...@gentoo.org> (2020-12-01) # Not maintained in Gentoo, multiple versions behind, unsafe, EAPI-5, # Use other kernel source / binary packages instead, # https://packages.gentoo.org/categories/sys-kernel # Removal in ~30 days. # Bugs: #716490 (aufs), #739782 (-ck), #757843 (-xbox) Looked up the bugs. They do not give a reason to discontinue, other than to say these packages are not maintained. One bug, 739782, does suggest using sys-kernel/zen-sources instead. But I am leery: 1.) zen-sources is at version 5.9.11. That is way ahead of stable sys-kernel/gentoo-sources at 5.4.80-r1. That would seem to be far into the unstable range. 2.) As far as I can see zen-sources does not have any of the normal gentoo patch set that gentoo-sources or ck-sources uses. 3.) Page at https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/Kernel/Overview shows zen-sources in the "previously provided kernel packages" category. Any suggestions or comments about replacing sys-kernel/ck-sources?
