As raffaele said there was an earlier news time for testing 17.1, which appears to have been removed: $ eselect news read 10 2017-12-26-experimental-amd64-17-1-profiles !!! Warning: News item "2017-12-26-experimental-amd64-17-1-profiles" no longer exists But there is another more up to date news item titled: "2019-06-05-amd64-17-1-profiles-are-now-stable" which is as per URL [1] shown above and contains all the instructions needed to undertake the fs migration. -- Regards, Mick
