Fine by me. Thanks.
I've tested this one working, had to add multiple Display-If-Profiles
because the GLEP and Portage doesn't support having just
"default-linux". Draft:
Title: Using default-linux profile is now obsolete
Author: Samuli Suominen <ssuominen@gentoo.org>
Content-Type: text/plain
Posted: 2009-10-21
Revision: 1
News-Item-Format: 1.0
Display-If-Profile: default-linux/alpha
Display-If-Profile: default-linux/amd64
Display-If-Profile: default-linux/arm
Display-If-Profile: default-linux/ia64
Display-If-Profile: default-linux/m68k
Display-If-Profile: default-linux/s390
Display-If-Profile: default-linux/sh
Display-If-Profile: default-linux/sparc
Display-If-Profile: default-linux/x86
The profiles in default-linux/ have been deprecated for six weeks.
Users using these profiles are expected to migrate to a new profile
before 2009-12-01, at which point the default-linux/ profiles will be
removed. The new profiles contain up to date configurations and were
adopted because they were easier to maintain. Users can switch to a
new profile using eselect:
# eselect profile list
# eselect profile set <target>
If a machine is not migrated to a new valid profile before the
deprecated profiles are removed, emerge will have very limited
functionality until the migration is done.
