Description David Carlos Manuelda 2023-06-20 09:12:37 UTC
Currently, musl profile (I know it is experimental) contains a mixture of use masks and so between profile folder and features/musl folder.

For people who inherits gentoo profiles to create their own profiles (like me) the fact that profiles contain a mininal set of changes in their main folder and rely in inheritance and features/XXXX allows to easily alter and mix profiles on custom repositories.

But the case in musl is a bit different because it contains a lot of changes in main profile folder and also a lot of changes in features/musl folder.

Is it possible to move changes in main profile folder to features/musl as much as possible? This will make a lot easier to inherit features/musl to create custom profiles musl based (like it is possible with llvm, hardened, no-multilib, etc)

Reproducible: Always

I came back to musl recently and I saw that now profile is much better structured.

@sam if you feel it is done you can close it or keep it open if you feel something is still missing, thanks.
