Take a look at the contents of /etc/make.profile. There's really not much in there outside of (from what I can see) files containing use flags and package masks.
If I had to venture a guess, I'd say it was the default values used to construct the base system from your initial install, whether 2004.3 or 2005.1. As all of these files are typically changed as your gentoo system becomes customized (i.e. you edit your /etc/make.conf and files in /etc/portage), I doubt these are used for much. The real question is why do you care what profile your gentoo system was built from? If you've been doing the standard "emerge --sync" and "emerge -uD world", you've already got a system that's beyond whatever the initial 2005.1 profile represents. -- [email protected] mailing list
