It addresses 3 issues brought up (two on list one off):
1) authorship - I've added another line for the entire hardened team. I've kept my name in there because I'm the point person for the work. 2) bug tracking - I refer at the end to a bug which will track the progress so the user can look to see where we are in the processs 3) I reworded it slightly to emphasis that the user should wait until the profile change is made on his/her arch before switching the profiles (ie they should not switch proactively) I'm shooting for Nov 13 to release it. -- Anthony G.

Title: Restructuring of Hardened profiles Author: Anthony G. Basile <bluen...@gentoo.org> Author: Hardened Team <harde...@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 updated, you will receive a warning when running emerge that your profile has been deprecated. When you do, use "eselect profile list" to get a list of the new profiles. Then, use "eselect profile set <num>" to switch to your new profile with corresponding number <num>. Progress with the restructuring will be track in bug #344861.
