How complicated is it?
Gentoo instruction page is not very clear.
==> NEW default/linux/amd64/23.0/split-usr
(added "split-usr")
My eselect profile list shows:
default/linux/amd64/23.0/desktop (stable)
Do I need to "split-user" to the end?
default/linux/amd64/23.0/desktop/split-usr ??
The 17.1 profile will apparently be removed after one year.
Does it mean my system will not be able to upgrader after profile 17.1 is
removed?
You have understood perfectly which profile to switch to, the new
profile equivalent to your old one is the 'split-usr' one. If you
follow the instructions in the news item it is not very complicated at
all. If you have any problems, touch back here for help.
Note that following the instructions is important. I had a few problems
along the way, but in part it was down to me missing items, and in
others my system was set up in a manner that didn't quite behave in the
normal manner.
IFF you've set it, make sure you disable EMERGE_DEFAULT_OPTS for the
upgrade.
Cheers,
