Hi, everyone. |
| 2 |
|
| 3 |
I've written a short proposal that aims to provide basic infrastructure |
| 4 |
for defining mix-in profiles in Gentoo. I've tried to keep it simple, |
| 5 |
and backwards compatible. The main goal is to be able to start defining |
| 6 |
some mix-ins without having to reinvent the whole profile tree. |
| 7 |
|
| 8 |
Most important points: |
| 9 |
|
| 10 |
1. Mix-ins are applied on top of base profile (which works the same as |
| 11 |
before), |
| 12 |
|
| 13 |
2. Mix-ins are supported via 'eselect profile' |
| 14 |
replacing /etc/portage/make.profile symlink with a directory, without |
| 15 |
need for Portage patching (this is how Funtoo does it), |
| 16 |
|
| 17 |
3. Most important mix-ins are used to construct base profiles which |
| 18 |
provides both backwards compatibility and proper targets for repoman |
| 19 |
(to avoid having to check all possible mix-in combinations). |
