Set "profile-formats = portage-2" in metadata/layout.conf of your |
| 13 |
overlay. The is documented in the "portage" man page. It allows you to |
| 14 |
specify a profile from another repository in the "parent" file of you |
| 15 |
profile. For example, gentoo:default/linux/amd64/13.0/desktop in your |
| 16 |
"parent" file will cause your overlay's profile to inherit from that |
| 17 |
gentoo profile. If you list your profiles in profiles/profiles.desc in |
| 18 |
you overlay, then eselect profile will see them. |
