The only dish I have is what if a new profile doesn't support what they |
| 5 |
are attempting to do? If something is profile masked ( gcc fex ) there |
| 6 |
is no way currently for a user to unmask it, even in /etc/portage. |
| 7 |
|
| 8 |
In the end they just might symlink make.profile to /etc/portage/profile |
| 9 |
and just make their own, although again it seems rather hackish. |
| 10 |
|
| 11 |
Is there documentation guides for modifying ones own profile? Certainly |
| 12 |
the portage support is mostly there ( if one points make.profile to |
| 13 |
/etc/portage/profile it technically is all there ). I guess as a user |
| 14 |
it would be nice to see a migration/setup guide for a profile setup, |
| 15 |
perhaps I will write one ;) |
