OK, here's a news item (actually two, separate for server and non-server profiles). Since it's a bit late now, I'll commit this or the improved version after discussion here in 6h (21:00 UTC) unless there are severe protests. -- the non-server profile variant (sparing you a lot of Display-If-Profile lines) Title: New 13.0 profiles and deprecation of 10.0 profiles Author: Andreas K. Hüttel <dilfri...@gentoo.org> Content-Type: text/plain Posted: 2013-02-10 Revision: 1 News-Item-Format: 1.0 Display-If-Profile: default/linux/alpha/10.0 Display-If-Profile: default/linux/alpha/10.0/desktop [...] Display-If-Profile: default/linux/x86/10.0/desktop/kde Display-If-Profile: default/linux/x86/10.0/developer We have generated a new set of profiles for Gentoo installation. These are now called 13.0 instead of 10.0. Everyone should upgrade as soon as possible (but please make sure sys-apps/portage is updated to current stable *before* you switch profile). This brings (nearly) no user-visible changes. Some new files have been added to the profile directories that make it possible for the developers to do more fine-grained use flag masking (see PMS-5 for the details), and this formally requires a new profile tree with EAPI=5. -- the server profile variant (sparing you the headers entirely) We have generated a new set of profiles for Gentoo installation. These are now called 13.0 instead of 10.0. Everyone should upgrade as soon as possible (but please make sure sys-apps/portage is updated to current stable *before* you switch profile). This brings (nearly) no user-visible changes. Some new files have been added to the profile directories that make it possible for the developers to do more fine-grained use flag masking (see PMS-5 for the details), and this formally requires a new profile tree with EAPI=5. In the course of this change, the "server" profiles will be removed; they do not exist in the 13.0 tree anymore. You should migrate to the corresponding parent profile. This may change the default value of some use-flags. The specific setting in "server" was USE="-perl -python snmp truetype xml" You may want to check the setting of these flags after switching profile, but otherwise nothing changes. -- Andreas K.
