1) a news item explaining why this change is necessary, what useflags do I need to add to make.conf to keep 'base' and 'server' profiles compatible (so I don't have to recompile a bunch of packages just because the default flags changed) 2) Make the server profile fatal when trying to emerge a package when this profile is selected ( add a profile.bashrc file that simply dies during pkg_setup) 3) Remove it after N * 30 days -- Regards, Markos Chandras / Gentoo Linux Developer / Key ID: B4AFF2C2
