The man pages to ufed say: The 1st char is the setting from the /etc/make.profile/make.defaults file. These are the defaults for Gentoo as a whole. These should not be changed. The 2nd char is the setting from the /etc/make.profile/use.defaults file. These will change as packages are added and removes from the system. But I can't find a /etc/make.profile/make.defaults file: root@orca:/root(28)# ll /etc/make.profile/make.defaults /bin/ls: cannot access /etc/make.profile/make.defaults: No such file or directory root@orca:/root(29)# ll /etc/make.profile/ total 4 -rw-r--r-- 1 portage portage 2 Oct 22 2009 eapi drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 1024 Jan 31 14:42 gnome/ drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 1024 Jan 31 14:42 kde/ -rw-r--r-- 1 portage portage 34 Aug 6 2009 parent root@orca:/root(30)# eselect profile list Available profile symlink targets: [1] default/linux/amd64/10.0 [2] default/linux/amd64/10.0/selinux [3] default/linux/amd64/10.0/desktop * [4] default/linux/amd64/10.0/desktop/gnome [5] default/linux/amd64/10.0/desktop/kde [6] default/linux/amd64/10.0/developer [7] default/linux/amd64/10.0/no-multilib [8] default/linux/amd64/10.0/server [9] hardened/linux/amd64 [10] hardened/linux/amd64/selinux [11] hardened/linux/amd64/no-multilib [12] hardened/linux/amd64/no-multilib/selinux root@orca:/root(33)# ll /etc/make.profile lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 61 Jan 26 2010 /etc/make.profile -> ../usr/portage_orca/profiles/default/linux/amd64/10.0/desktop/ root@orca:/root(34)# find /etc/make.profile/ -name make.defaults root@orca:/root(35)# I suppose the man pages should reference something like /usr/portage/profiles/targets/desktop/make.defaults or /usr/portage/profiles/default/linux/make.defaults. Reproducible: Always
Also, ufed does not work without the /etc/make.profile symlink. The symlink is now /etc/portage/make.profile. Steps to reproduce: 1. rm /etc/make.profile 2. eselect profile list/eselect profile set ... 3. ufed Actual results: /etc/make.profile is not a symlink Compilation failed in require at /usr/sbin/ufed line 9. BEGIN failed--compilation aborted at /usr/sbin/ufed line 9. expected result: ufed starting. To use ufed again: 1. cd /etc 2. ln -s ../usr/portage/profiles/default/linux/amd64/10.0/<...> make.profile ufed code and documentation should be changed to the new profile symlink location.
I'll check the documentation again to make sure it lists the correct file. This is work in progress, that can be reviewed using the live ebuild. ===== For /etc/make.profile, the current ufed does not need it any more: ----- # ls -l /etc/make.profile ls: cannot access /etc/make.profile: No such file or directory # ufed Cancelled, not saving changes. # ufed Warning: source command found in /etc/portage/make.conf. Flags may be saved incorrectly if the sourced file modifies them. # ----- *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 281304 ***
