Hey all,
in the past I already sent a mail about features for a next profile
version.The feedback was rather limited, but anyway we got quite a list of
ideas.The general tracker is bug 876891.
In the following I would like to put up the various features for > discussion,
in order of bug number... Feedback very welcome.
Cheers
Andreas

Bug 515694 - Update MIPS profiles to use ABI-specific CHOST values
forclang/llvm compatibility
Affects only mips profiles. Should eventually be done, I guess?
https://bugs.gentoo.org/675050
Bug 675050 - [toolchain] Enable GCC's -fstack-clash-protection for
allprofiles in Gentoo by default
https://bugs.gentoo.org/792081
Bug 792081 - rename no-multilib to nomultilib, also in profile
names
Apparently this simplifies things for some people, and a new
profile
is a good chance to do the cosmetic change.
https://bugs.gentoo.org/818376
Bug 818376 - [toolchain] Adopt SHT_RELR/DT_RELR relative relocation
format*very* new feature...
https://bugs.gentoo.org/831045
Bug 831045 - profiles: remove USE=cli default and inline into
ebuilds
Easy.
https://bugs.gentoo.org/849875
Bug 849875 - profiles: remove USE=dri default, clean up
make.defaults
Also easy.
https://bugs.gentoo.org/876879
Bug 876879 - separate openrc and systemd features, not one
overriding > the
other
Right now all profiles inherit openrc-specific settings, and these
arethen again negated and/or overridden in the systemd profiles.
Sorting
this more cleanly would be nice.

Bug 876881 - make merged usr the default configuration
With the next profile version, the "default" setting > (default/linux/XX.X/amd64)
is a merged usr profile, while the old layout is still present as a split-usr feature. Not sure if this is worth the trouble.

Bug 876883 - [tracker] time64 migration
Needed.
https://bugs.gentoo.org/876893
