dist-kernel USE Flag

Talk status
This discussion is still ongoing as of 2024-07-29.

We should add the USE flag dist-kernel here rather than the optional UKI place we currently have. This USE flag tells portage to rebuild out of tree kernel modules such as nvidia and zfs.

Proposed changes - Please make edits here until a final revision is agreed upon.

Users may also wish to enable additional sys-kernel/installkernel USE flags at this stage. See the Installation/Kernel#Installkernel section for details.


Users of the Distribution kernel will also want to set the USE flag dist-kernel system wide, as this tells Portage to rebuild out of tree kernel modules such as sys-fs/zfs and x11-drivers/nvidia-drivers.

FILE /etc/portage/package.use/modules-rebuild
*/* dist-kernel
