Hi there, as linux 2.6.20 is finally released right now, i wonder when can i expect stable ck-sources (these from kernel.org right?) and stable gentoo-sources to hit portage. How much does it usually take?

Uhh sometimes you can discover things by yourself and not ask question like this. How?
You can look at kernel changelog (in www.kernel.org ) and see the dates each kernel is released and look at gentoo changelog of ck and gentoo-source (in /usr/portage/bla/bla/bla/Changelog) and calculate the time required to do it.
And better you can write a script to do this (I recommend python) and do it for all kernel version you can take info and make a mean (and calculate the stddev too) and better you can post a graph of "time of year" / "time required to kernel come to gentoo" and you can see at time of year gentoo devs is more lazy.

So plz do YOUR homework ^_^ (and if you really do plz post it, and if you need help with python or statistics I/we can help you)
