Hi everyone, I'd like to post the following news item about the restructuring of the hardened profiles. I'm passing it by the community for critical review.

Title: Restructuring of Hardened profiles Author: Anthony G. Basile <bluen...@gentoo.org> Content-Type: text/plain Posted: 2010-11-13 Revision: 1 News-Item-Format: 1.0 Display-If-Profile: hardened/linux During the next few weeks, all hardened profiles will be restructured to remove the version number "/10.0". For example, if your current profile is "hardened/linux/amd64/10.0/no-multilib" your new profile will be "hardened/linux/amd64/no-multilib". We will change the profiles one arch at a time, starting with ia64, and proceeding in order with ppc, ppc64, x86 and amd64. Once your arch has been update, you will receive a warning when running emerge that your profile has been deprecated. Use "eselect profile list" to get a list of the new profiles. Use "eselect profile set <num>" to switch to your new profile with corresponding number <num>.
