OK, since several people have asked what is going to be in this profile |
| 2 |
if it gets added, i had in mind something like the following (all |
| 3 |
filenames relative to gentoo-x86/profiles/): |

# DO NOT USE THIS PROFILE WITH PORTAGE. |
| 9 |
# This profile is intended for use with the Paludis package manager, |
| 10 |
# and requires features that current Portage versions do not support. |
| 11 |
# If you attempt to use it # with Portage, things *WILL* break. You have |
| 12 |
# been warned. |

# paludis: ignore this |

<similarly for other arch profiles, if they get added> |

<deprecated notice to be duplicated in all subprofiles if necessary> |

The deprecated notice should address the concerns of those worried |
| 40 |
about people switching a Portage system to use one of these profiles, |
| 41 |
as it would then spit out a hard-to-miss notice upon attempting to do |
| 42 |
anything. Additionally, at present anyone using the sub-profiles with |
| 43 |
Portage would get a profile identical to the default-linux ones, due to |
| 44 |
Portage only considering the first line in parent. |
| 45 |
|
| 46 |
Possible additions at a later date could involve use.force for profiles |
| 47 |
where appropriate (the 'ip28' use flag is an obvious example), as well |
| 48 |
as package.use.mask being used for per-package USE combination |
| 49 |
restrictions. However, Portage at the moment ignores the files |
| 50 |
involved, so they do not affect the issue of Portage attempting to use |
| 51 |
one of these profiles. |
