Fine by me. Thanks. I've tested this one working, had to add multiple Display-If-Profiles because the GLEP and Portage doesn't support having just "default-linux". Draft: Title: Using default-linux profile is now obsolete Author: Samuli Suominen <[email protected]> Content-Type: text/plain Posted: 2009-10-21 Revision: 1 News-Item-Format: 1.0 Display-If-Profile: default-linux/alpha Display-If-Profile: default-linux/amd64 Display-If-Profile: default-linux/arm Display-If-Profile: default-linux/ia64 Display-If-Profile: default-linux/m68k Display-If-Profile: default-linux/s390 Display-If-Profile: default-linux/sh Display-If-Profile: default-linux/sparc Display-If-Profile: default-linux/x86 The profiles in default-linux/ have been deprecated for six weeks. Users using these profiles are expected to migrate to a new profile before 2009-12-01, at which point the default-linux/ profiles will be removed. The new profiles contain up to date configurations and were adopted because they were easier to maintain. Users can switch to a new profile using eselect: # eselect profile list # eselect profile set <target> If a machine is not migrated to a new valid profile before the deprecated profiles are removed, emerge will have very limited functionality until the migration is done.
