22 Interesting! I guess it's been a while since I looked at the available
23 profiles, because I don't remember seeing those:
24
25 # eselect profile list
26 Available profile symlink targets:
27 [1] default/linux/amd64/13.0 *
28 [2] default/linux/amd64/13.0/selinux
29 [3] default/linux/amd64/13.0/desktop
30 [4] default/linux/amd64/13.0/desktop/gnome
31 [5] default/linux/amd64/13.0/desktop/gnome/systemd
32 [6] default/linux/amd64/13.0/desktop/kde
33 [7] default/linux/amd64/13.0/desktop/kde/systemd
34 [8] default/linux/amd64/13.0/developer
35 [9] default/linux/amd64/13.0/no-multilib
36 [10] default/linux/amd64/13.0/x32
37 [11] hardened/linux/amd64
38 [12] hardened/linux/amd64/selinux
39 [13] hardened/linux/amd64/no-multilib
40 [14] hardened/linux/amd64/no-multilib/selinux
41 [15] hardened/linux/amd64/x32
42 [16] hardened/linux/uclibc/amd64
43
44 So, does this mean we will eventually have systemd choices for *all*? Ie:
45
46 # eselect profile list
47 Available profile symlink targets:
48 [1] default/linux/amd64/13.0 *
49 [1] default/linux/amd64/13.0/systemd
50 [2] default/linux/amd64/13.0/selinux
51 [1] default/linux/amd64/13.0/selinux/systemd
52
53 etc?
