And I assume there is a non-trivial number of custom scripts out there using make.profile, but that's nothing we can do about.
You could give them all a grace period for which have to comply with the new standard by then end of it, and have ( during that grace period ) an automatic symlink generation based on that make.conf flag. And just to make sure, I doubt it would be too difficult to have an application that analyises packages as they install to check whether they reference make.profile or not, and flag a QA warning if they do. And packages that don't switch to the standard by the end of the grace period I guess we'll see on a "last rites" bulletin ;) - Kent -- gentoo-dev@gentoo.org mailing list
