This whole thread, from my original subject line on, has been saying |
| 15 |
that emerge --sync removes profiles. Does it or not? |
| 16 |
|
| 17 |
On this specific machine following emerge --sync the link |
| 18 |
/etc/make.profile was pointing at nothing. I originally asked if it |
| 19 |
was removed by emerge --sync or whether it had just gotten messed up. |
| 20 |
Everyone seemed to reply that emerge --sync removes profiles which |
| 21 |
seems to be in conflict with your last comment. |

As for my earlier losing kernels and ATI drivers, that could have |
| 24 |
easily been something like I cleaned out distfiles since these |
| 25 |
machines don't have much disk space and then since they were removed |
| 26 |
from the servers I couldn't get it any more. If it happened that way |
| 27 |
then that's a problem on my end, not portage. |
