man 5 portage: |
| 11 |
|
| 12 |
/etc/make.profile/ |
| 13 |
This is usually just a symlink to the correct profile in |
| 14 |
/usr/portage/profiles/. Since it is part of the portage tree, |
| 15 |
it may easily be updated/regenerated by running `emerge --sync`. |
| 16 |
It defines what a profile is (usually arch specific stuff). If |
| 17 |
you need a custom profile, then you should make your own |
| 18 |
/etc/make.profile/ directory and populate it. However, if you |
| 19 |
just wish to override some settings, do NOT edit these files |
| 20 |
because they WILL be lost with the next `emerge --sync`. See |
| 21 |
the section below on /etc/portage/ for overriding. |

I still don't know why I did it. Maybe I did not want to update the |
| 25 |
profile, maybe there was a default use flag I did not like? I really don't |
| 26 |
recall when or why I did it! Beats me. |
