Well, I do use (since eons)

  # tail -v /etc/portage/profile/package.provided
==> /etc/portage/profile/package.provided <==
sys-kernel/vanilla-sources-9999

and then have in ~/devel a linux repo where I do sth like this

     git diff v6.18.33..v6.18.34 | (cd /usr/src/linux && sudo patch -p1)

for the patch level and for a minor version bump every then and when

     git archive --prefix linux-6.18.y/ v6.18.15 | (cd /usr/src/; sudo 
tar -xf-)

Not sure, if I need sys-kernel/vanilla-sources or that in provided or not?
