Updating Gentoo Linux to 2010.0 Profile

3.  Profile updating instructions

General instructions






Important: Make sure your Portage is updated before performing any profile changes.

First, run emerge eselect. The eselect utility will let you view and select profiles easily, without needing to create or remove symlinks by hand.











Code Listing 3.1: Profile selection with eselect

(View available profiles)
# eselect profile list

(Select the number of your desired profile from the list)
# eselect profile set <number>


If you'd still prefer to change profiles manually, then simply do the following:











Code Listing 3.2: Changing profiles manually

# rm /etc/make.profile
# ln -s ../usr/portage/profiles/<selected profile> /etc/make.profile








Note: There are desktop and server subprofiles for most architectures. Examine these profiles carefully, as they may serve your needs better than the extremely minimal default profiles.







Note: The developer subprofile is specifically for Gentoo Linux development tasks. It is not meant to help set up general development environments.
