The situation is complicated: - The devmanual[1] reference is wrong. I wonder where it comes from. The devmanual wasn't considered policy (mainly because it was started by ca connection devmanual <-> policy creeps in. *shrug* - Some arch teams don't want other devs to touch "their" profiles: "DON'T TOUCH THIS FILE. Instead, file a bug and assign it to..." But this arch is neiter mentioned in the handbook nor in the manual: http://www.gentoo.org/proj/en/devrel/handbook/handbook.xml?part=2&chap=5#doc_chap4 http://devmanual.gentoo.org/archs/index.html - The devhandbook[2] is also kind of unmaintained. Devmanual and -handbook are waiting for a merge AFAIR. - And there is already a stalled bug[3] about "Developer Handbook should document how/when to touch arch profiles' files" Summary: You do it wrong either way.
