Here's what I've done for x86, and I really encourage all of you to follow suit. I've created a no-nptl sub-profile that has "nptl nptlonly" in use.mask, along with a 2.4 sub-profile. This 2.4 sub-profile will be *the* 2.4 sub-profile for x86, with the other 2.4 profiles being deprecated. I have added "nptl" to USE for the 2006.0 profile, and *not* for the "x86" profile. Also, because x86 supports 2.4-based systems, I have *not* added STAGE1_USE=3D"nptl". If your architecture is on 2.6-only, then you are free to add this to your profile. I highly recommend *against* adding nptlonly to STAGE1_USE or USE at this time. I have also minimized the USE flags enabled in the default-linux/x86 profile. This makes the profile very usable for non-release sub-profiles, by limiting the number of USE someone is forced to disable. All of the other USE flags are enabled in the sub-profiles for each release. So... there's my "lead by example" so much as it applies. Feel free to make any arch-specific changes you wish to your own profiles, but I've given you what I plan on doing on x86 for the future. --=20 Chris Gianelloni Release Engineering - Strategic Lead x86 Architecture Team Games - Developer Gentoo Linux --=-tZDFbkBNjez3bmg/nYbs Content-Type: application/pgp-signature; name=signature.asc Content-Description: This is a digitally signed message part -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.2 (GNU/Linux) iD8DBQBDe3WqkT4lNIS36YERAsnOAJwMawsbuclOuhpa0/TUD11natIF2QCgv7gi J+D+97lAoNHtOOPE1sctv2E= =kcw+ -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --=-tZDFbkBNjez3bmg/nYbs-- -- gentoo-releng@gentoo.org mailing list
