Re: [gentoo-dev] make.profile symlink now points nowhere (was default-x86-1.4)

["Brett I. Holcomb" <brettholcomb@charter.net>]

Nope. I got 2.4 when I logged in, did an emerge -uD system -p. I went back 
and created the symlink to 2005.0 again and now it appears to work - I 
even rebooted.  However, I did NOT have a symlink to 2.4 so who knows.

Here's the output (before recreating the symlink)

brett@gandalf brett $ emerge >=gentoo-sources-2.6 -p

!!! Your current profile is deprecated and not supported anymore.
!!! Please upgrade to the following profile if possible:
         default-linux/x86/2005.0

To upgrade do the following steps:
# emerge -n '>=sys-apps/portage-2.0.51'
# cd /etc/
# rm make.profile
# ln -s ../usr/portage/profiles/default-linux/x86/2005.0 make.profile

# Gentoo has switched to 2.6 as the defaults for headers/kernels.  If you 
wish
# to use 2.4 headers/kernels, then you should do the following to upgrade:
# emerge -n '>=sys-apps/portage-2.0.51'
# cd /etc/
# rm make.profile
# ln -s ../usr/portage/profiles/default-linux/x86/2005.0/2.4 make.profile
