elisa ~ #

where did the 2.6 sources go? I read about some upgrades here and there,
but I don't seem to find which actions exactly I have to take to get
portage to serve me with 2.6 sources...

any help would be welcome!

Weird. I guess you have done an "emerge sync" recently?
gentoo-sources should now be a 2.6 kernel and I guess the
gentoo-dev-sources have been temporarily withdrawn until we get 2.8
kernels. but why you would get gentoo-sources being a 2.4 I don't know.

maybe try another emerge sync - your rsync mirror might have been messed up?

They're there:

spider root # emerge -s gentoo-sources

Where is /etc/make.profile pointing to? It looks like there's now a
separate profile for 2.4 kernels.

yr first command was all ok!
are you sure you lately synced yr portage-tree?!
try 'emerge sync' and then 'emerge -s gentoo-sources'.

forgot to mention (as seen in Ben M.'s latest posting) that the formerly
called "gentoo-dev-sources" turned into "gentoo-sources" and
"gentoo-dev-sources" turned into "vanilla-sources".

have a look at ..
http://dev.gentoo.org/~dsd/gentoo-dev-sources/about.htm
for more information.

yes, that's probably it:

/etc/make.profile -> ../usr/portage/profiles/default-linux/x86/2005.0/2.4

and /usr/portage/profiles/default-linux/x86/2005.0/2.4/packages contains

<sys-kernel/gentoo-sources-2.5
<sys-kernel/linux-headers-2.5

however, I don't seem to find a 2.6 profile anywhere. is it safe to just
remove those two lines from the package file of the 2.4 profile?

thanks for the tip!

This is your problem.

/etc/make.profile should be a symlink to
.../usr/portage/profiles/default-linux/x86/2005.0

this is the standard 2005.0 profile which features 2.6 kernels as standard

/etc/make.profile -> ../usr/portage/profiles/default-linux/x86/2005.0/2.4

is what you use if you want to stick with 2.4 kernels

No, just link it to /usr/portage/profiles/default-linux/x86/2005.0
(without the 2.4 sub-directory).

There isn't a 2.6 directory.
/usr/portage/profiles/default-linux/x86/2005.0 is the path to the 2.6
profile.

Had a problem last week relating to emerge with these instructions:
http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/gentoo-upgrading.xml, Code Listing 3.1:
Changing to a 2005.0 profile.
