Hi everyone, |
| 2 |
|

Either today or tomorrow, there will be two new experimental hardened |
| 4 |
profiles, one on amd64 and the other x86. These will be: |
| 5 |
|
| 6 |
hardened/linux/uclibc/amd64 |
| 7 |
|
| 8 |
and |
| 9 |
|
| 10 |
hardened/linux/uclibc/x86 |
| 11 |
|
| 12 |
Please be careful with them! Do not try to switch to these profiles |
| 13 |
from a glibc system. portage will complain about blocking and not let |
| 14 |
you proceed, but for the truly stubborn who will hack away until it does |
| 15 |
work, trust me, it will not work. It will utterly break everything. |
| 16 |
|
| 17 |
Aside: while this is an extreme case, switching profiles is never to be |
| 18 |
taken lightly. Eg. hardened <-> non-hardened or selinux <-> non-selinux. |

For the curious, you can play with these using the stage3's at |

Notice there are 4 combinations |
| 25 |
|
| 26 |
amd64 hardened |
| 27 |
amd64 vanilla |
| 28 |
|
| 29 |
i686 hardened |
| 30 |
i686 vanilla |
| 31 |
|
| 32 |
The amd64 are completely done. I'm working on i686 now so you may want |
| 33 |
to wait on those. Any stage marked on or later than oct 25 should be good. |
| 34 |
|
| 35 |
Note: the vanilla is just hardened with USE="-hardened" set in |
| 36 |
make.conf. They are being built as a comparison to the hardened. |
