"If both /etc/portage/make.profile/ and /etc/make.profile/ exist, |
| 21 |
then /etc/portage/make.profile/ will be preferred." |

Yes, I agree that that might perhaps have been nice to mention it in the news |
| 27 |
item (although IMHO that's the sort of information the man pages are there |
| 28 |
for), but it *is* crystal clear in the docs, or do you not count the man pages |
| 29 |
to the docs? |

AFAIK eselect profile uses the new location, but I don't remember how precisely |
| 39 |
I moved it (not that it matters). |

The current location is /etc/make.conf, right? Then ../usr/[...] will resolve |
| 45 |
to /usr/[...], whereas your ln command above will resolve to /etc/usr/[...], |
| 46 |
which is, erm, wrong :) . |
