As raffaele said there was an earlier news time for testing 17.1, which |
| 27 |
appears to have been removed: |
| 28 |
|
| 29 |
$ eselect news read 10 |
| 30 |
2017-12-26-experimental-amd64-17-1-profiles |
| 31 |
|
| 32 |
!!! Warning: News item "2017-12-26-experimental-amd64-17-1-profiles" no longer |
| 33 |
exists |
| 34 |
|
| 35 |
But there is another more up to date news item titled: |
| 36 |
|
| 37 |
"2019-06-05-amd64-17-1-profiles-are-now-stable" |
| 38 |
|
| 39 |
which is as per URL [1] shown above and contains all the instructions needed |
| 40 |
to undertake the fs migration. |
