Maybe instead of calling it "a security issue", its "a change in defaults due to potential security concerns" pgpvjsgOu1u2j.pgp Description: OpenPGP digital signature

Maybe something along this lines of: This release brings several incompatible changes as a result of deprecations coming to term [#] and mitigating a potential security issue [#]. I wouldn’t really consider the security risk eliminated, but mitigated as the vector of attack remains if program or module adds the current working directory to @INC on its own.

I would make this look more like a proper list. Typical errors are: * Can't locate inc/... in @INC (you may need to install the inc::... module) * error: ... has no member named ‘op_sibling’ * Unescaped left brace in regex is illegal in ... signature.asc Description: Digital signature

I had to have dinner, and stopped in the alphabet at N (=nios2). :) Right, that's totally understandable! And I thought something was wrong with the arches where it had not yet happened ... next time in similar situations I should probably just wait a bit longer and see. ;-) Greetings and thanks! Nils

[gentoo-dev] 17.0 profiles and x86
Hi folks, just a short question: Looking through the portage tree git logs, I can see that yesterday, the new 17.0 profiles have been generated for quite a few arches besides amd64 (where they have already existed for a while). However, it seems that for some arches, most notably x86, the new profiles have not been generated. Is there any specific reason for this, or is it just something that is going to happen later? Just wondering... Greetings and thanks! Nils
