Hi, Here's the third part of my profile cleanup series. This time it's focused on moving arch-related stuff from base/ to arch/base/.
The main goal is to have a clear profile inheritance. Since all arch/* profiles inherit arch/base (not top-level base!), it is reasonable to do the 'mask on all arches, unmask on specific' things there. I should note that I didn't touch the part focused on stable masking that applies to all arches uniformly. I'm not sure whether it should be moved to arch/base or kept in base since it applies to all arches. I guess it doesn't really matter though. It might also be reasonable to create a dedicated directory for this specific use in arch/base. The change is almost NFC, except for: - little flag changes on ppc64 64le profile (ibm flag is masked now, ppc64: please advise if it's desired or undesirable), - flag masking changes on Prefix profiles (Fabian is already testing them), - flag masking changes to the dead uclibc/ profiles. Please review.
