Just quick example.

RepoMan scours the neighborhood...
RepoMan sez: "If everyone were like you, I'd be out of business!"



Note, that all mips-related profiles are marked 'exp' in profiles.desc.

Now, let's hack it a bit - change profile type for 'default/linux/mips/13.0' from 'exp' to 'dev' - locally, of course.

   dev-libs/libverto/libverto-0.2.5.ebuild: DEPEND: ~mips(default/linux/mips/13.0) ['sys-libs/tevent']
   dev-libs/libverto/libverto-0.2.5.ebuild: RDEPEND: ~mips(default/linux/mips/13.0) ['sys-libs/tevent']

If i missed that thing and commit changes blindly - i would be definitely broke dependency tree, and repoman has no option to include experimental profiles. Same thing is about Prefix, but i was told by project leads that this is OK.

However, i am CCing mips@ just for clarification - maybe it is worth to migrate some profiles to 'dev' state? Or they are too unstable?
Comment 1 Sergey Popov gentoo-dev 2013-08-16 14:58:29 UTC
And, by the way, PMS defines 'stable' and 'dev' as 'widely used values' for profiles stability level. Maybe we should add 'exp' there too?
Comment 3 Zac Medico gentoo-dev 2013-08-22 04:50:54 UTC
This is fixed in 2.2.1.
