The bootstrap-prefix.sh script now creates the profile symlink to |
| 26 |
these new profiles on every arch. I tested amd64-linux yesterday and |
| 27 |
it should work with the current snapshot that I just bumped. The old |
| 28 |
profiles are subject to deprecation at any time here so when you see |
| 29 |
portage telling you that you should change your profile..that is what |
| 30 |
is happening. *-linux is the biggest change, the rest of you probably |
| 31 |
won't even notice a change when you switch. |
