It actually isn't that important to stay abreast of the newest profiles. If you actually look at the profile, you'll see three files. One of them is packages, which just specifies the minimum versions for a couple packages (in this case baselayout, binutils, gcc, and glibc). The other imporant one is make.defaults which just specifies the default USE flags, which are overriden by any changes you have in make.conf. Probably the only thing that will change if you move to a new profile is you *might* get some new default USE flags, but since you probably have quite a few of your in in make.conf this probably won't even change anything. Also, the settings in make.conf rarely change from version to version. -- Evan Klitzke -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
