-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 The only dish I have is what if a new profile doesn't support what they are attempting to do? If something is profile masked ( gcc fex ) there is no way currently for a user to unmask it, even in /etc/portage.
In the end they just might symlink make.profile to /etc/portage/profile and just make their own, although again it seems rather hackish. Is there documentation guides for modifying ones own profile? Certainly the portage support is mostly there ( if one points make.profile to /etc/portage/profile it technically is all there ). I guess as a user it would be nice to see a migration/setup guide for a profile setup, perhaps I will write one ;) Stuart Longland wrote: > Jan KundrÃt wrote: > >>Stephen P.
