Description Thibaud CANALE 2015-06-14 11:05:33 UTC

Hello,

Well, everything is in the title.
Just reporting a typo, removing the "s" in "profile", in the man page of portage(5), around line 88 currently.

Just getting crazy for 30 min wondering why portage was ignoring my configuration, but I guess the true documentation is the source code. Mistakes happen.

Thanks for support.

PS: the IRC channel told me to do a bug report for this, so here it is.

I don't see it. What version of portage do you have? Can you spot in tin the source code?

I am truly sorry, I completely misread the line `/usr/portage/profiles/`, I thought I saw "etc" instead of "usr", while I was looking for the file `use.stable.mask`.

Sorry for wasting your time, even 30 minutes on it, and I didn't see it. as I said "Mistakes happen"
