Hello, Gentoo. Has anybody else noticed that we're getting rather a lot of gentoo-sources kernels in recent codebase updates? It seems we're getting around one every two days, completely unmasked. For example, gentoo-sources-6.18.26 was released on 2026-05-01, 6.18.32 today, and no version in between was keyworded. That's 7 versions in the space of 17 days. This doesn't particularly bother me, but I am somewhat puzzled. Recently there have been quite a few high ranking vulnerabilities discovered in Linux, and I'm wondering if all these kernels contain fixes for these. But I keep a clone of the Linux "stable" sources, and there is no mention of these CVEs in the clone's log files. Can anybody shed any light on this? Thanks! -- Alan Mackenzie (Nuremberg, Germany).
