Yes, the last 2 repoman versions have supported the new format. I plan on adding all of the profiles that I know are valid, and working with other teams to ensure their valid profiles are listed, also. Right now, I'm just hoping to see portage versions >= 2.0.51.20 be more prevalent in #gentoo-commits before taking the plunge and changing this... or perhaps repoman complaining loudly every time they try to use it will give people a bit of motivation to upgrade? ;] -- Chris Gianelloni Release Engineering - Strategic Lead/QA Manager Games - Developer Gentoo Linux
