Why do you need to remove them? Keep them there with the obsolete warning and hard-code the newer portage to exclude those profiles when syncing as to not clutter user's trees. Maybe even add a $PORTDIR/profiles/rsync_excludes file that will have a list of stuff to be excluded. Portage can then use that file as another "--exclude-from $PORTDIR/profiles/rsync_excludes". -- (* Georgi Georgiev (* Of course you have a purpose -- to find a (* *) [EMAIL PROTECTED] *) purpose. *) (* +81(90)2877-8845 (* (*
