Currently, this is still BETA and needs more testing.

What It Is
The main idea behind the Funtoo 1.0 Profile is to do away with the current monolithic "one size fit's all" approach. Instead of setting one massive profile and then overriding whatever you don't want, the Funtoo 1.0 Profile uses a new multi profile approach which allows way more flexibility and customization. Instead of having to remove what you don't want, now you'll be able to add in just the parts that you do want and leave out the rest.
How It Works
Please check Funtoo 1.0 Profile: Internals(Coming Soon).
What It Looks Like
Here's a what a list of profiles looks like:
starmine portage # eselect profile list Currently available arch profiles: [1] funtoo/1.0/linux-gnu/arch/x86-32bit [2] funtoo/1.0/linux-gnu/arch/x86-64bit Currently available build profiles: [3] funtoo/1.0/linux-gnu/build/stable [4] funtoo/1.0/linux-gnu/build/current [5] funtoo/1.0/linux-gnu/build/experimental Currently available flavor profiles: [6] funtoo/1.0/linux-gnu/flavor/minimal [7] funtoo/1.0/linux-gnu/flavor/core [8] funtoo/1.0/linux-gnu/flavor/desktop Currently available mix-ins profiles: [9] funtoo/1.0/linux-gnu/mix-ins/dvd [10] funtoo/1.0/linux-gnu/mix-ins/gnome [11] funtoo/1.0/linux-gnu/mix-ins/kde [12] funtoo/1.0/linux-gnu/mix-ins/media [13] funtoo/1.0/linux-gnu/mix-ins/rhel5-compat [14] funtoo/1.0/linux-gnu/mix-ins/server-db [15] funtoo/1.0/linux-gnu/mix-ins/server-mail [16] funtoo/1.0/linux-gnu/mix-ins/server-web [17] funtoo/1.0/linux-gnu/mix-ins/workstation [18] funtoo/1.0/linux-gnu/mix-ins/workstation-minimal
As you can see, there are multiple types of profiles to choose from. Let's move on to how to start using it.
Prepare the System
Install the lastest eselect
Make sure you install this before trying to switch your profile.
echo "=app-admin/eselect-1.3.1.1_beta2" >> /etc/portage/package.unmask emerge -1 eselect
Switch to the Funtoo 1.0 Profile
Define the profile sub-sets you will use
The main feature of the Funtoo 1.0 profile is the /etc/portage/make.defaults/parent file which describes what profiles your specific system derives settings from. It is made up of 4 components:
1. A "arch" profile which defines settings for a particular architecture.
2. A "build" profile which should match the tree you wish to use. Stable, Current(~arch), or Experimental.
3. A "flavor" profile (what was previously known as profiles) which describes the kind of system you want.
4. One more "mix-ins" profiles which describe optional add-ons.
A minimalistic setup might look like this:
gentoo:funtoo/1.0/linux-gnu/arch/x86-64bit gentoo:funtoo/1.0/linux-gnu/build/current gentoo:funtoo/1.0/linux-gnu/flavor/core
A more rounded setup might look like this:
gentoo:funtoo/1.0/linux-gnu/arch/x86-64bit gentoo:funtoo/1.0/linux-gnu/build/current gentoo:funtoo/1.0/linux-gnu/flavor/desktop gentoo:funtoo/1.0/linux-gnu/mix-ins/dvd gentoo:funtoo/1.0/linux-gnu/mix-ins/media
Using eselect
The preferred method of adding profiles is to use eselect. For a list of options, run:
eselect profile help
Finish Up
Currently we plan on having future versions of the eselect ebuild automatically switch the user from using the /etc/make.profile symlink to using /etc/portage/make.defaults/parent file. Right now you must manually remove the /etc/make.profile link or portage will continue using it.
First thing you'll need to do is remove the /etc/make.profile symlink if it exists.
rm /etc/make.profile
Then update world using the new profiles.
emerge -vauDN world
Inspect the output of the prior command carefully. It is entirely possible that the use flags of several packages have changed. Many were removed in an effort to stay minimalistic.
For instance, libreoffice/openoffice will no longer have the cups use flag enabled by default.
Adjust your system-wide and application-specific use flags as necessary then re-run the prior command and update when stratified.
