Run kernel upgrade before 'emerge --depclean'?

[TheGreatMcPain]

First of all, thank you for making this. It makes updating Gentoo pretty simple.

The only problem I have with it is that it removes older kernel sources before upgrading to the new one causing module-rebuild to fail. I figure doing the kernel upgrade phase before doingemerge --depclean could prevent this from happening.

I think Compiling external modules should only be done after the new kernel is compiled and upgraded.

When I had a kernel upgrade I ran genup with the options.
(--buildkernel-args=-x -M) Which tells buildkernel to rebuild modules during upgrade, and disables genup's module-rebuild stage. With those options the upgrade went without a hitch.

@TheGreatMcPain,

those may make sense as default options, tbh. Thanks for the suggestion.

31 Oct 2020: sadly, due to legal obligations arising from a recent change in my 'real world' job, I must announce I am standing down as maintainer of this project with immediate effect. For the meantime, I will leave the repo up (for historical interest, and it may be of use to others); however, I plan no further updates, nor will I be accepting / actioning further pull requests or bug reports from this point. Email requests for support will also have to be politely declined, so, please treat this as an effective EOL notice.

For further details, please see my post here.

With sincere apologies, sakaki ><
