So, I was just wondering, does 2005.1 offer us any benefits?

Does the .1 more fix all problems magically or will it magically create 
more problems?
Seriously, any benefit other than bragging rights to having 0.1 more? 

I do love your answer!

The 2005.1 and 2005.0 profiles are nearly identical, but that might 
change in a while, especially if you're using a sub-profile. Switching 
to 2005.1 won't change much, but that way you can be sure that you'll 
always get the latest improvements.

If you're on 2004.3 currently, first upgrade to 2005.0 using the upgrade 
guide [1], then switch to 2005.1 by simply doing

# ln -sf /usr/portage/profiles/default-linux/amd64/2005.1 /etc/make.profile

would that be a long while or a short while?

I was always under the impression that as long as you keep doing
emerge -uD world, you are as up-to-date as possible.  If we ARE using
2004.3 (which I am), what changes are there when you migrate from a
(fully updated) 2004.3 to 2005.1?

Multilib support from what I know.

Some releases have new profiles, in which case you need to update your 
/etc/make.profile directory link, in other cases you don't.  If you are 
using 2004.3 then you should switch your profile to 2005.0, because if 
not, you'll only get the updates upto, but not including those on 
2005.0.   From what I can see on this thread there has been a profile 
change for 2005.1 from 2005.0 for AMD64, but I don't think there was a 
profile change for 2005.1 for x86.

How do you update your profile?

RTFM!

blubb posted a link to the instructions earlier:
http://www.gentoo.org/proj/en/base/amd64/howtos/index.xml?part=1&chap=1

He also stated that you should upgrade from 2004.3 to 2005.0 before 
going to 2005.1

I guess it goes without saying that you could easily google for it or 
find this in gentoo.org, but never the less, here it is:

The main 'Update Your Profile Page' (Definitely read this first, it 
explains everything you need to know.)
http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/gentoo-upgrading.xml

Instructions for AMD64 with multilib enabled.
http://www.gentoo.org/proj/en/base/amd64/howtos/index.xml?part=1&chap=1#doc_chap1

Instructions for AMD64 with multilib disabled.

Thanks for the responses...I realized after I sent that that I should
RTFM, indeed, which I did.  Sorry for the trouble!
