Yes, exactly! There is no need to use non PMS compatible features in the gentoo tree. Jocke

So after you ignore my other stuff: Profiles are part of the PMS specification, so any changes that go in there have to be EAPI scheduled and cried over for a bit, and probably GLEPs and stuff also. I guess portage could informally support it prior to any such specification materialising, but it would have to be forbidden in the main tree until such a specification was defined, or the portage tree would become PMS in-compatible. -- Kent KENTNL - https://metacpan.org/author/KENTNL

[gentoo-portage-dev] USE_EXPAND in profiles?
Under /etc/portage/package.use one can add: sys-libs/ntdb PYTHON_TARGETS: python2_7 net-fs/samba PYTHON_TARGETS: python2_7 But when I try to transfer this to our custom profile I get --- Invalid USE flag for 'sys-libs/ntdb' in '/var/lib/layman/transmode/profiles/gentoo64-common/package.use': 'PYTHON_TARGETS:' --- Invalid USE flag for 'net-fs/samba' in '/var/lib/layman/transmode/profiles/gentoo64-common/package.use': 'PYTHON_TARGETS:' I am missing something? Generally I think that everything possible to do under /etc/portage should be doable under a profile as well. Jocke
