I plan on adding all of the profiles that I know are valid, and working with other teams to ensure their valid profiles are listed, also. Right now, I'm just hoping to see portage versions >=3D 2.0.51.20 be more prevalent in #gentoo-commits before taking the plunge and changing this... or perhaps repoman complaining loudly every time they try to use it will give people a bit of motivation to upgrade? ;] --=20 Chris Gianelloni Release Engineering - Strategic Lead/QA Manager Games - Developer Gentoo Linux --=-GBebdkY1O7+gfzttWwQx Content-Type: application/pgp-signature; name=signature.asc Content-Description: This is a digitally signed message part -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.1 (GNU/Linux) iD8DBQBCd3pZkT4lNIS36YERAnE5AJ4/S5nBRZD6iFYighTxRYTN5GJBCgCghxUn sfPNE+dtI7YGdBiKw4WTDZg= =LWVE -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --=-GBebdkY1O7+gfzttWwQx-- -- gentoo-dev@gentoo.org mailing list
