The profiles in default-linux/ have been deprecated for six weeks. Users using these profiles are expected to migrate to a new profile before 2009-12-01, at which point the default-linux/ profiles will be removed. The new profiles contain up to date configurations and were adopted because they were easier to maintain. Users can switch to a new profile using eselect: > > # eselect profile list > # eselect profile set <target> > > If you don't follow this message, the emerge will simply stop working > until you do.
