Thanks... my point was more that the news item didn't explain this - |
| 13 |
also, this answers as to make.conf, but what about make.profile? |
| 14 |
|
| 15 |
I just don't like being forced to assume, or 'test for myself', when it |
| 16 |
could be made crystal clear in the news item/docs. |
| 17 |
|
| 18 |
Also, would |
| 19 |
|
| 20 |
~ cd /etc/portage |
| 21 |
~ ln -s make.profile ../usr/portage/profiles/default/linux/amd64/13.0 |
| 22 |
|
| 23 |
Be the right way to create the make.profile symlink in the new location? |
| 24 |
|
| 25 |
Not sure why the two preceeding dots are there in the current one in |
| 26 |
/etc, but they are... |

I don't... I was getting ready to change these, and was just asking the |
| 32 |
question... ;) |
