I think you should try creating a local custom combined profile. |
| 10 |
|
| 11 |
For example I needed to create a systemd + no-multilib profile. |
| 12 |
I called this custom profile "fturco" (my username, but of course you can choose any name). |
| 13 |
|
| 14 |
I created the /var/db/repos/fturco/profiles/fturco/parent file with the following lines: |
| 15 |
|
| 16 |
> ../../../gentoo/profiles/default/linux/amd64/17.1/systemd |

/var/db/repos/fturco is the directory with my local custom gentoo repository. |
| 20 |
../../../gentoo points to /var/db/repos/gentoo, which is the official gentoo repository. |
| 21 |
|
| 22 |
I also needed to create the /var/dotfiles/db/repos/fturco/profiles/profiles.desc file with the following line: |
| 23 |
|
| 24 |
> amd64 fturco stable |
| 25 |
|

At this point you can set your profile with eselect profile, and then update the system with: |
| 27 |
|
| 28 |
emerge -uDNav @world |
