There was an uber-thread on -dev over the last two months that covered most of these bases. I stopped paying attention about halfway through... but it's all there on gmane. The thread started with with a proposed sysvinit -> systemd migration script, and it quickly became obvious why profiles and USE flags look OK at first glance but rapidly becomes apparent that they aren't. -- Alan McKinnon alan.mckin...@gmail.com
