I think this discussion has popped up before on both this list and on |
| 10 |
gentoo-doc. I added some substantial warnings to the documentation that |
| 11 |
discusses profiles per Donnie's request if I remember right. The bottom |
| 12 |
line is that you can try to make things as tricky as you want; users |
| 13 |
will still try to do it because they don't bother to read any |
| 14 |
documentation. That's something you can't force 'em to do. |

Still, perhaps adding some output would be good, though I'm not sure |
| 17 |
how. eselect doesn't seem to be setup to display anything; "eselect |
| 18 |
profile set 9" to switch to "amd64/2008.0" doesn't even return a message |
| 19 |
that it was set. |
