You can add kernel sources to a set so they are never depcleaned % cat sets.conf [kernels] class = portage.sets.dbapi.OwnerSet world-candidate = False files = /usr/src Then emerge -n @kernels I do the same with gcc so I can keep the previous version [gcc] class = portage.sets.dbapi.OwnerSet world-candidate = False files = /usr/x86_64-pc-linux-gnu/gcc-bin -- Neil Bothwick For security reasons, all text in this mail is double-rot13 encrypted.
