Run emerge -uavDN world after changing it, as a changed profile usually brings changed default USE flags. -- Neil Bothwick If a deaf person swears, does his mother wash his hands with soap? signature.asc Description: PGP signature
[gentoo-user] Default profile question
Hi all, I just did an emerge --sync and when I did 'emerge --pretend --update --deep world', I got told that my profile was deprecated. I was told to run the following steps: # cd /etc/ # rm make.profile # ln -s ../usr/portage/profiles/default/linux/x86/2008.0 make.profile I just want to make sure that if I do this, nothing will get broken or if there are any gotchas. If anyone has some words of wisdom, I would appreciate it. Thanks in advance. Colleen -- Registered Linux User #411143 with the Linux Counter, http://counter.li.org

Hi, you can manage your /etc/make.profile symlink by eselect (emerge -av eselect) tool. Eselect is a tool for administration and configuration on Gentoo systems. It provides consistent interface and tool names. eselect profile list - lists available profiles on your system eselect profile set num - select a profile for portage to use CJoeB wrote / napísal(a): Hi all, I just did an emerge --sync and when I did 'emerge --pretend --update --deep world', I got told that my profile was deprecated.

You can use a 2007 profile if they are not to old yet. Hope that helps. Dale :-) :-)
