This is just a heads-up for Gentoo users that got used to find make.conf and make.profile under /etc in stages, that these files will stop being there and will instead be under /etc/portage. So we are changing the defaults. About supporting the old way, that is beyond Releng and up to Portage and maintainers of portage tools. I was told at least Portage has no plan to drop support for /etc in the foreseeable future. > Rich - -- Regards, Jorge Vicetto (jmbsvicetto) - jmbsvicetto at gentoo dot org Gentoo- forums / Userrel / Devrel / KDE / Elections / RelEng -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v2.0.19 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org/ iQIcBAEBAgAGBQJQDgFYAAoJEC8ZTXQF1qEPzdwP/16ArdOg1k+2vX1xAbwDSnMs Bjw7XIn9EsPmk1hT5FKZTUrwgeihXudMtHHCMKXexH4Ena9F9hu5NNblV2Aklv4u zPQVc6GOvf3oWUgzPGDC/2AFb701aIKzNHLPaiWVIX0f8USly4rho+yulg0WYjRG pHXH9c2szLsRgGOVcgxLmwMeqAFl2D2iywp7ASLPBPjMCqJDaGJXhHgUr1EvaoET sLwtyfeW0pvSiPZkyHs2+dBPvRnup2fsv1VZwvpBFNeopItCg76rTEhxDouH8zN/ xZz37mw4+6et2+9L0u1R8oQsDmEyw7XPQ8Q1JuibHsim0K/bdhxoINVJXLAE425T aaJNUx5jL3taY12fS1mcIjfIpFZwqTf8CUUjkIY+OOEYNltjlXCK6JyWbj0a7wEN BCneLC21aKWvdR15HuyK7CP//8qhPkAtpt9QwbT+qNryI1hX80IMXnl3Ey6hIG88 aD14U/AyzK8OCZBpKpYt8RKMVHyOTrpqxfHTPJhF2rkn6lH1aT781k0a70Njc/uK 0wRXrb5jwXPCehCXF4LVdNfPqB5AmAg+JkRbBkwHRu96U2ioncCd1w+h5NTlnNLL NvVoDiXKO+5ouH8qrSzf5Y28CVZa8r94VpoQOgND3N7DM5GOin/ok3S2k1PhbELd k6dHPEF4bJcCsUg+PblX =Bjnh -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
