Hi, here's a patch for gentoo-upgrading.xml for the upcoming 2004.3 release. - sparse corrections reported by Benno Schulenberg <benno@nietvergeten.nl> (Thanks!) - I changed the license to cc-by-sa 2.0, it seems i'm the only author... - the list of supported archs is now based on the archs that have at least one versioned stacked profile, I hope this criterion makes sense. about the updating instructions for 2004.3: - you certainly know better than me what changes need to be reported to users, so change them at your discretion. - will the 2004.3 ppc liveCD use default-linux/ppc/2004.3 as profile or it uses an old one? (in profiles/profiles.desc it's marked as in development). In case it uses an old profile, this update needs to be corrected. In case it uses the 2004.3 profile: with -
(... continuing previuos commit) with diff -uNr default-linux/ppc/2004.2 default-linux/ppc/2004.3 I see udev is now the default virtual for virtual/dev-manager, does it need to be reported to users? In case not, remove that line from the update instructions. - with diff -uNr default-linux/x86/2004.2 default-linux/x86/2004.3 I see 'slang' is no longer a default use flag. Does it need to be reported? I think not, as probably developers do more of this changes to the current profiles without waiting for the introduction of a new profile (shame on them :). - Last thing: probably it's time to remove the links to the '1.4 upgrade guide' from the main page. A link should survive in the upgrading guide.

Another remark: currently the guide says about upgrading instructions: "we will publish migration instructions as part of the release." but probably releng doesn't know that. Maybe it's better to rewrite/reword that sentence to not confuse users?
Applied. Thanks a lot.
