Gentoo Packages

The initial testing window from the 2026-05-29 import has closed and the package.mask on TeX Live 2025/2026 has been removed. The set -- texlive-core, the 39 dev-texlive/* collections, and the split build tools -- is now visible by default on ~amd64 and ~arm64. TL2026 is the highest version, so an ~arch `emerge -uDN @world` will upgrade TL2024 -> TL2026.

Stable amd64 users are unaffected: these ebuilds are ~amd64 and ::gentoo's TL2024 stays stable.

== Upgrade as a set ==

Some packages moved between collections across TL years. The ebuilds carry blockers that order the moves, but they resolve cleanly only when the whole set upgrades together -- use `emerge -uDN @world`. A partial merge can hit protect-owned collisions; add FEATURES="-protect-owned" if you must do one.

== Reporting problems ==

If you encounter any problem related to TeX Live -- a failed merge or a document that no longer builds -- please report it at https://github.com/istitov/stuff/issues with the exact category/pkg-version, your `emerge --info`, and the failing build log or LaTeX output.

== More ==

See the 2026-05-29 news item, "TeX Live 2025/2026 imported", for the xelatex font-by-name fontconfig note and the early opt-in background.

The stuff overlay now ships TeX Live 2025 and 2026 -- texlive-core, the 39 dev-texlive/* collections, and the split build tools -- ahead of ::gentoo's TL2024.

== Masked for now ==

The set is ~amd64 and package.masked for an initial testing window, so it is not pulled by default, even on ~amd64. Stable amd64 users are unaffected (::gentoo's TL2024 is stable).

UPDATE: the mask was lifted on 2026-07-03, later than the 2026-06-12 date given when this item was first posted. The TeX Live block is no longer in profiles/package.mask, so no unmasking is needed. See the news item 2026-07-03-texlive-2025-2026-unmasked.

== Upgrading ==

Some packages moved between collections across TL years. The ebuilds carry blockers that order the moves, but they resolve cleanly only when the whole set upgrades together -- use `emerge -uDN @world`. A partial merge can hit protect-owned collisions; add FEATURES="-protect-owned" if you must do one.

== Known limitation ==

xelatex font-by-name (\setmainfont{Latin Modern Roman}) needs a fontconfig snippet for the texmf font dir -- the standard upstream TeX Live step. pdflatex and lualatex are unaffected.

The pf-sources ebuilds that combine a vanilla kernel.org tarball with Gentoo genpatches and a curated subset of the pf-kernel patchset (the "-r70" / "-r71" model) have been moved to a new package:

  sys-kernel/pf-sources-extended

The new package covers the same kernel branches under simplified version names — the -r70/-r71 revision suffix is dropped because the package name now differentiates the model.

== What to do ==

sys-kernel/pf-sources-extended carries KEYWORDS="" and must be explicitly accepted. Add it to /etc/portage/package.accept_keywords:

  =sys-kernel/pf-sources-extended-X.Y_pZ **

The old and new ebuilds both install to /usr/src/linux-X.Y-pfZ/, so unmerge the old atom first to avoid a file-collision abort:

  emerge --unmerge =sys-kernel/pf-sources-X.Y_pZ-rN
  emerge -av =sys-kernel/pf-sources-extended-X.Y_pZ

where X.Y_pZ matches your current pf-sources version (e.g. 7.0_p2). The ebuilds are functionally identical; only the package name changed. Your running kernel and /lib/modules/X.Y-pfZ/ are unaffected — only the source tree under /usr/src/ is briefly removed and reinstalled.

== Background ==

sys-kernel/pf-sources retains its two original models:

• active (no -rY): fetches pf-kernel's sourcetree from Codeberg (vX.Y-pfN — vanilla GA plus pf patchset; pf-kernel deliberately omits linux-stable) and layers Gentoo genpatches on top, which bring linux-stable updates into the build.

• CVE-backported (-r1/-r2): same base as the active model plus a set of hand-applied surgical CVE backports for security fixes pf-kernel hasn't picked up. Intended for slots kept in long-term use.

sys-kernel/pf-sources-extended is the curated-patchset model: vanilla kernel.org tarball + Gentoo genpatches + a hand-curated subset of natalenko's pf-kernel delta (BBRv3, x86 ISA-level helpers, v4l2loopback, AMD-pstate enhancements, and related features). See the existing news item "2026-05-06-pf-sources-r70" for the full design rationale.
