Gentoo please, though also submitting stuff upstream and linking to it in the Gentoo bug is appreciated. > 2) What is the detailed procedure for adjusting symlinks to the 17.0 > profile? Probably simple enough after you've done it once or twice, Check the /etc/portage/make.profile symlink. It points to the eselected profile. Replace that symlink with a new one pointing to the corresponding 17.0 directory. > > In the simplest case users only have to change the > > /etc/portage/make.profile symlink, in the worst case they may have > > to recompile the entire system from scratch while doing a neat > > voodoo dance. Well... there's still some discussion behind the scenes going on. I'm not sure if additional changes will be made to the 17.0 profiles still. So far it's just rebuilding packages that install static archives. -- Andreas K. Hüttel dilfri...@gentoo.org Gentoo Linux developer (council, perl, libreoffice)
