Description Niklas Johansson 2009-09-12 12:49:31 UTC 
In section "Choosing the Right Profile" why not use profile-config instead of the current suggestion

ln -snf /usr/portage/profiles/<profile name> /etc/make.profile


Reproducible: Always

You shouldn't be using profile-config anyway; you should be using the eselect script that calls it with the proper options:

# eselect profile list
# eselect profile set 3

Anyway, this bug is a duplicate of one we already have; please search before adding new bugs to the database.

"profile-config" is a symlink to eselect nowadays and should be completely equivalent to "eselect profile".
