[gentoo-user] make.{conf,profile} move to /etc/portage
Just saw the eselect news item saying make.conf and make.profile are moving to /etc/portage next week. Unfortunately, there's no link to a page w/ more info in the news item. Does anyone know what version of portage knows to look for them in this location? I don't want to move mine prematurely :) And yes, I read that we don't need to do anything. I *want* them in /etc/portage. I've always felt they belonged there. -- Douglas J Hunley (doug.hun...@gmail.com) Twitter: @hunleyd Web: douglasjhunley.com G+: http://goo.gl/sajR3

Zac wrote on gentoo-dev: Current portage supports it? Or is their a new version coming which I would need? It's been supported in stable portage since portage-2.1.9.24 stabilized in November/December 2010: https://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=346819 http://git.overlays.gentoo.org/gitweb/?p=proj/portage.git;a=commit;h=d493a029add855e6ade95d60b57ec7b8f5aba067 http://git.overlays.gentoo.org/gitweb/?p=proj/portage.git;a=commit;h=f15c724e6ea494c21e57289b0361614b6656ac35 -- aranea

I was hoping that this change meant that after 125 alpha versions maybe portage-2.2 was finally going stable but I guess not if this functionality was changed in 2.1. ;-( - Mark

Why not copy them over and create a symlink for legacy-reasons? I'd guess that every stable version of portage will support it, because that change (to the stage 3) wouldn't make sense otherwise.
