This page is a work-in-progress proposal to merge the Funtoo profile system into Gentoo Linux.
Introduction
This page is a proposal for integrating the Funtoo profile system into Gentoo Linux.
Reference
- Funtoo 1.0 Profile - description of the system.
- Creating Profiles - how to add the profile system to a non-Funtoo tree.
- Portage Profile Logic - How Portage processes profiles.
Authors
Requirements and Design Ideas
Eselect Profile Support
We want eselect-profile to support both the funtoo style profiles and the gentoo style profiles at the same time First thought, says if /etc/{,portage}/make.profile is a symlink, only show gentoo style profiles; this will hide the changes from unsuspecting users so they don't accidently set an experimental profile as gentoo tries to catch up.
If /etc/{,portage}/make.profile is not a symlink, then show a list of old style profiles and new style profiles. This may require funtoo to remove profiles.desc and profiles.eselect.desc from gentoo before replicating.
Catalyst Support
- seems trivial, support catalyst setting new style profiles.
- input requested from funtoo team on suggested syntax
Build Profiles in Gentoo
Build prototype profiles in gentoo for all possible x86/amd64 varients.
- mgorny has some good ideas here for multilib stuff
- blueness has some good ideas for hardened and alternative libc implementations
Piggy-Back System for Funtoo
Funtoo currently imports various settings from the existing Gentoo system profiles. The new Gentoo profile system should be designed to facilitate this "piggy-backing" to allow for maximum collaboration between Gentoo and Funtoo Linux.
