If you move the directory emerge won't be able to unmerge those sources which I agree isn't really a big deal. However, the symlink isn't a big deal either IMHO and it keeps breakage to a minimum ;) -- gentoo-alpha@xxxxxxxxxx mailing list Thread at a glance:

It runs fine (as far as I can tell). And the best thing is that I compiled it with the "Alcor/XLT" system type (not generic like I had to do with 2.4.28! There's a new option just under System Type to tell the kernel that I have an ev56 CPU, maybe that's what made the difference... One thing that's weird is that emerge put the kernel in /usr/src/linux-2.6.11-rc2 (not 2.6.12-rc2 as it should have). I'm sure it's 2.6.12-rc2 because of a) uname -a says so, b) the dir it created in /lin/modules is 2.6.12-rc2, c) at the logon screen it also says 2.6.12-rc2. So is there any danger in moving it to /usr/src/linux-2.6.12-rc2? Will emerge find it again if I ever want to unmerge it? (I'm, guessing no, but is that so bad?)
