[gentoo-dev-announce] All profile directories going EAPI=5

Dear all, 

in its last session the Gentoo council decided that 30 days from now the 
entire profile tree will be updated to require EAPI=5 support. 

For all non-deprecated profiles this requirement has already been in place for 
over one year. If you have updated your system at any point during the last 
year, followed the instructions in the profile deprecation warnings (which 
cannot really easily be overlooked), and are running an up-to-date portage 
version, there is absolutely nothing that you need to do now. 

If you are running an installation that has not been updated for more than a 
year, you have to update your portage version to current stable now, and 
afterwards switch to a non-deprecated profile.

The deprecated 10.0 profiles will be removed after the update.

Best, Andreas
