Hi all,
so here's a small update on the state of the 23.0 profiles:
* For all arches, the 23.0 profiles are now marked at the same stability status
(mostly for the CI and pkgcheck) as before the 17.x profiles. Most 17.x
profiles
have been downgraded to "exp".
* All stage downloads (with

Hi Jaco,
* we have more stages
* the binary packages have to go somewhere
* and, temporarily, things are duplicated due to the 17.x / 23.0 profile
transition
The third point will eventually go away. However, I'm not sure how much it
actually
contributes.
Hi all,
the 23.0 profiles are ready for testing, including stage downloads,
binary packages, and update instructions for existing installations,
for all arches.

It's fairly simple:

Mike,
could you please do this just like everyone else, i.e. file a bug and give
arch teams a go? Even if you're on all the arch teams? Even if you know the
code best? More eyes do not hurt.
(I am absolutely not in the mood right now for hunting down why alpha stage
builds now fail.)

Hi all,
due to having somewhat too many Gentoo projects and not enough time at
the moment, I'd like to ask for help with perl-cleaner here.
It is in most cases not necessary anymore, and I personally have not
used it for ages, since the automated rebuilds via subslots make it
obsolete.

So, here's what I took away from the thread. Please shout if you
disagree.
1) Advertised riscv profiles will all be non-multilib and use /usr/
lib64 (or /usr/lib if we ever get around to riscv32). [A]
2) The standard for keywording and stabilization is rv64gc/lp64d.
We keep stages for other

It would be non-multilib one-or-the-other then for us.
The main relevant combination is
