[gentoo-dev] useful profiles.desc

Continuing a subject I've brought up several times in the past...

Are we any closer to having a profiles.desc that lists all valid profiles?
IIRC the current stable portage should be ok with it.  Are there any other
issues preventing this from becoming a reality?

There should be no issues anymore.  I was planning on doing this myself
at some point.  Are you wanting to do this, or should I?

Also, what are the valid "status" entries?  Is it just dev and stable?

well, repoman only cares about "dev", but yes, those are the only two status 
values we are using atm

Doesn't matter one way or the other to me :)  If you were planning on doing it
soon then go for it.  I probably won't have the time to do it myself until I
get done moving in a week or two.

I vaguely remember someone (might've even  been you) having all archs report a
list of valid profiles.  That'd be a good starting point.

Cheers
