Description lolita 2005-10-31 13:44:10 UTC

profile.eselect module looks at /usr/portage/profiles/profiles.desc
to list available profiles, while profiles.desc is not complete.
# eselect profile list
Available profile symlink targets:
  [1]   default-linux/x86/2005.0

while

# eselect profile show
Current make.profile symlink:
  /usr/portage/profiles/default-linux/x86/2005.1 

thus making this module unusable

Yeah currently only stable profiles are listed in profiles.desc.  Not sure how
this is a bug in the profile module though.

And yes it makes it kind of useless.  Going to try and see if I can prod someone
or send a mail to -dev to see if we can get it updated finally.

isn't the default-linux/x86/2005.1 profile stable?

Actually, it was an error for me to say "only stable" as there are some
technically development profiles there.  As to why default-linux/x86/2005.1 is
not listed in profiles.desc, your guess is as good as mine.  Someone more
involved with the profiles (vapier or wolf31o2 perhaps) would likely know.
