Set "profile-formats = portage-2" in metadata/layout.conf of your overlay. The is documented in the "portage" man page. It allows you to specify a profile from another repository in the "parent" file of you profile. For example, gentoo:default/linux/amd64/13.0/desktop in your "parent" file will cause your overlay's profile to inherit from that gentoo profile. If you list your profiles in profiles/profiles.desc in you overlay, then eselect profile will see them. -- Thanks, Zac
