15 The profiles in default-linux/ have been deprecated for a while now, and
16 you have been seeing a message of profile switching when using emerge.
17
18 They will be entirely removed 2009-12-01. This is your last warning to
19 switch into new profiles using:
20
21 # eselect profile list
22 # eselect profile set <target>
23
24 If you don't follow this message, the emerge will simply stop working
25 until you do.
26
27 This change was made to ease maintenance.
