Everyone, Funtoo Linux 1.3 is now officially released. Check out a detailed description of all the changes here: https://www.funtoo.org/Release_Notes/1.3-release Best, Daniel

Hi there. Long-time lurker, first-time poster. I've been using Funtoo since 2012 (Gentoo since 2004) and I like what you're doing with it. For a few years now I've preferred Funtoo to Gentoo when I build new things; and as a physicist, I get to do lots of neat stuff. I have a request: Will you please add sys-kernel/{gentoo,vanilla}-sources to the list of packages (e.g. vim) that are kept up-to-date? I already maintain a local overlay for a few things and can automate tracking gentoo myself, but it becomes a chore to do this everywhere and I can't be the only person with an interest in these simple kernel packages. (I think it would be marvelous if funtoo tools presented a way to automate tracking gentoo for simple things, without having to maintain an overlay ...) Thanks for your consideration! Keep up the good work. ? (pic unrelated; but it was created with gnofract4d running on a Funtoo machine)

I have changed my mind about the size of LV's and decided to go with 8GB instead of 4GB so I don't have to guess about having enough space in /*/tmp to compile a new kernel. I'll edit this post to add my results when I get done. Hopefully that will be within the next 3 hours. Well, I have run basic tests with defrag and zlib compression and changed RAID back and forth from 0,1, and 10, added large amounts of data, deleted some of it, did it all again, made a few snap shops, deleted them, and so on. I can't find any obvious problems with the usage or functionality of kernel 4.9 on a btrfs filesystem created with newer kernel. I know that data point doesn't make a statistically useful sample, but it does put my mind at ease.

Thanks for adding the 2FA to the site. I wish more would do it. I use it every where I can. Even my home server has the google-auth pam modules for ssh.
