46 Starting next week, new stages will have make.conf and make.profile
47 moved from /etc to /etc/portage. This is a change in the installation
48 defaults, that will only affect new installs so it doesn't affect
49 current systems.
50
51 Current users don't need to do anything. But if you want to follow the
52 preferred location, you may want to take the chance to move the files
53 in your system(s) to the new location.
