1 this has all been fairly ad-hoc in the past, so formalize it in the one place
2 that impacts everyone -- profiles.desc.

6 # This is a list of valid profiles for each architecture. This file is used by
7 # repoman when doing a repoman scan or repoman full.
8 #
9 # DO NOT ADD PROFILES WITH A "die" or "exit" IN THEM OR IT KILLS REPOMAN.
10 #
11 # Policy statement; updates should be posted to gentoo-dev mailing list.
12 #
13 # The meaning of the status field:
14 # stable - Fully supported profile; needs dedicated arch team to keep up with
15 # stabilization (if using stable KEYWORDS) and keyword requests.
16 # dev - Ideally on track to becoming "stable"; KEYWORDS breakage should be
17 # kept to a minimum and bug reports are recommended.
18 # exp - Developers may ignore breakage in these profiles. It is up to the
19 # profile maintainer to keep things viable, but it is not a hard
20 # requirement that the deptree stay error free.
21 # Stable keywords may be used with any of these types. If an arch only has exp
22 # profiles, then other developers may ignore that keyword when doing upgrades
23 # and cleaning out old versions (dropping of stable/unstable KEYWORDS).
24 #
25 # Note: Please do not mix tabs & spaces. Look at surrounding lines first.
26 #
27 # File Layout (for exact format, see the portage(5) man page):
28 #arch profile_directory status
