They just provide ease of installation by enabling some USE flags |
| 12 |
globally or per-package for you, to avoid having to add them manually |
| 13 |
on a fresh install or so. |

You can create a local mix-in by having /etc/portage/make.profile as a |
| 16 |
directory with an eapi and parent file, but that has some caveats, so |
| 17 |
given that I leave the details to find out elsewhere when desired. |
| 18 |
Or you can just use one and add the stuff for the other manually, |
| 19 |
verbatim or as-needed. |
| 20 |
What they do can be seen in |
| 21 |
profiles/targets/desktop/gnome |
| 22 |
profiles/targets/desktop/plasma |
| 23 |
subdirectories of your PORTDIR (probably /usr/portage/) |
| 24 |
|
| 25 |
The global USE flags each adds are in make.defaults file and the per- |
| 26 |
package USE flag tweaks are in package.use files. |
| 27 |
|
| 28 |
So you could for example keep using the systemd plasma profile, add the |
| 29 |
global USE flags from |
| 30 |
/usr/portage/profiles/targets/desktop/gnome/make.defaults to your |
| 31 |
make.conf and symlink |
| 32 |
/usr/portage/profiles/targets/desktop/gnome/package.use to a gnome.use |
| 33 |
file under /etc/portage/package.use/ directory or so and voilà, you got |
| 34 |
effectively both. |
