virtuals is handled the same way as anything else with the new stackable profiles system: the highest precedence goes to /etc/portage/profile/virtuals if this exists, then after that the destination of /etc/make.profile, and after that the parent profiles, down to /usr/portage/profiles/base/virtuals. e.g. on my system, the virtuals files are, in order of decreasing precedence: /etc/portage/profile/virtuals (/usr/portage/profiles/default-linux/x86/2005.0/virtuals does not exist) /usr/portage/profiles/default-linux/x86/virtuals /usr/portage/profiles/default-linux/virtuals /usr/portage/profiles/base/virtuals Obviously any settings you want to make go in /etc/portage/profile/virtuals. -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
