+<title>Updating Portage to Support Cascading Profiles</title> |
| 35 |
+<body> |
| 36 |
+ |
| 37 |
+<p> |
| 38 |
+Although this section does not seem to integrate well in this upgrading guide, |
| 39 |
+it is quite important. Any profile listed above this section requires a Portage |
| 40 |
+version that supports cascading profiles. However, some obsoleted profiles don't |
| 41 |
+allow the user to upgrade Portage or the user is using a profile that isn't |
| 42 |
+available anymore - any attempt to upgrade Portage will result in a failure. |
| 43 |
+</p> |
| 44 |
+ |
| 45 |
+<p> |
| 46 |
+To work around this problem, users can set a temporary symbolic link to the |
| 47 |
+<e>obsolete</e> profile, allowing them to upgrade their Portage after which |
| 48 |
+they can continue with the upgrade procedure set forth in this guide: |
| 49 |

+<pre caption="Updating Portage through the obsolete profile"> |
| 52 |
+# <i>rm /etc/make.profile</i> |
| 53 |
+# <i>cd /etc</i> |
| 54 |
+# <i>ln -sf ../usr/portage/profiles/obsolete make.profile</i> |
| 55 |
+# <i>emerge -n '>=sys-apps/portage-2.0.51'</i> |
