Quick quesition regarding "linux-2.6.31.x" and "gentoo-sources-2.6.31-rx"

I was just wondering if a package such as "gentoo-sources-2.6.31-r6"
uses kernel 2.6.31.6, or just 2.6.31. I have been digging through
timestamps and the like for a while, but I just can't figure it out.

Thanks, and sorry for my noobishness.

It uses a tarball and patches:

$$ ( cd /usr/portage/distfiles ; ls -l *2.6.31* )
... 114701 2009-11-07 17:37 genpatches-2.6.31-6.base.tar.bz2
... 24961 2009-11-07 17:37 genpatches-2.6.31-6.extras.tar.bz2
... 139031 2009-11-16 14:50 genpatches-2.6.31-7.base.tar.bz2
... 24961 2009-11-16 14:50 genpatches-2.6.31-7.extras.tar.bz2
... 61494822 2009-09-12 20:14 linux-2.6.31.tar.bz2

In addition to the link Eray posted, you can also always check
/usr/portage/sys-kernel/gentoo-sources/ChangeLog

Ok, so gentoo-sources-2.6.31-r6 uses the 2.6.31 tarball (I'm assuming to
save downloading most of it again), but includes the patches to change
that version to 2.6.31.6. Thank you.
