Project:Distribution Kernel

The Distribution Kernel project aims to maintain sys-kernel/*-kernel packages. Those kernel packages have three goals:


 * 1) Covering kernel maintenance wholly within packages (install via emerge, upgrade as part of @world upgrade), without requiring additional actions from the user or resorting to nonportable hacks.
 * 2) Providing a default configuration that works for most of diverse systems, for users who are not interested in configuring their own kernel from scratch.
 * 3) Supporting different bootloaders and  layouts (LILO, GRUB, systemd-boot, EFI stub…) with minimal effort, including deploying self-built kernel binary packages over a fleet of heterogeneous systems.

Current packages
The project is currently in early stage, and the only packages provided are, and. Use at your own risk, keep a backup kernel available.
