[gentoo-user] No profile 17.1 for 32-bit (x86) installs?

[gentoo-user] No profile 17.1 for 32-bit (x86) installs?

[Walter Dnes]

  I just updated Gentoo on my old backup machine, an 11-year-old Dell
Inspiron 530 desktop, and there's no mention of profile 17.1 in either
"eselect profile list" or "eselect news list".  I'm not looking for
extra hassle, but I wanted to make sure I didn't miss anything obvious.

Same here, nothing to worry about:

"In the new profiles, the lib->lib64 compatibility symlink is removed.
64-bit libraries need to be installed directly to lib64.  /lib
and /usr/lib become real directories, that are used for cross-arch
and native non-library packages (gcc, clang) and 32-bit libraries
on the multilib profile (which improves compatibility with prebuilt x86
packages)." [1]

On x86 system there is no lib32 nor lib64, everything is already under lib.

As raffaele said there was an earlier news time for testing 17.1, which 
appears to have been removed:

$ eselect news read 10
2017-12-26-experimental-amd64-17-1-profiles

!!! Warning: News item "2017-12-26-experimental-amd64-17-1-profiles" no longer 
exists

But there is another more up to date news item titled:

"2019-06-05-amd64-17-1-profiles-are-now-stable" 

which is as per URL [1] shown above and contains all the instructions needed 
to undertake the fs migration.

  On 32-bit systems, everything is in /lib.  On 64-bit systems,
everything is now in /lib64.  I wonder if they're laying the
groundwork for the appearance of /lib128 one of these days <G>.
