Subject: [gentoo-hardened] no-multilib subprofile for new 17.0 hierarchy

1 I tried to create this myself and nothing terrible happened. First, I
2 created the new directory,
3
4 profiles/default/linux/amd64/17.0/hardened/no-multilib (1)
5
6 So, first question: is there a preference between the two choices there,
7 either "17.0/hardened/no-multilib" or "17.0/no-multilib/hardened"?
8
9 In the new directory (1), I created an "eapi" file containing "5", and a
10 "parent" file containing
11
12 ../../no-multilib
13 ../../../../../../features/hardened/amd64
14
15 I considered using "features/hardened/amd64/no-multilib" as a parent,
16 but it doesn't look like anything else is doing so. So my second
17 question is: is "features/hardened/amd64/no-multilib" unused? And/or
18 should I be using it?
19
20 Finally, I added
21
22 amd64 default/linux/amd64/17.0/hardened/no-multilib dev
23
24 to profiles.desc. After eselecting the new profile, "emerge -uDN @world"
25 turns up no changes (from my old no-multilib profile).
