Lots of hosts still use profiles/default-linux but I don't think any of tinderboxes do anymore. Note also that infra does not maintain any of the tinderboxes. Or really any *.dev.gentoo.org box (cept woodpecker). You need a PR post about this (and preferably a news item). You are going to break folks (which IMHO is fine; we just need good messaging). The news needs to get out early also; like 2-4 weeks before we do it. -A (In reply to comment #2) > You need a PR post about this (and preferably a news item).

The removal date is 2009-12-01, so it's about 5 weeks before. The only directory left in default-linux/ will be mips/*. If they don't sort out the profiles soon, I'll do it for them. They don't have anything special, only passing matching -m<abi> flags based on profile names, matching on machine types. mips should be done as of today, far as I can see there's nothing blocking us from removing the dummy default-linux/ from tree, but per irc discussion with redhatter, robbat2 had some reason any chance of stating the reason here too? + 23 Jan 2010; Samuli Suominen <ssuominen@gentoo.org> + -default-linux/make.defaults, -default-linux/mips/ChangeLog, + -default-linux/mips/make.defaults, -default-linux/mips/package.mask, + -default-linux/mips/package.use.mask, -default-linux/mips/packages, + -default-linux/mips/parent, -default-linux/mips/use.mask, + -default-linux/mips/virtuals, -default-linux/package.use.mask, + -default-linux/packages, -default-linux/packages.build, + -default-linux/parent, -default-linux/use.mask, -default-linux/virtuals: + Remove stray default-linux/ wrt #287976. |
