-Title: Profile EAPI 5 requirement
-Author: Zero_Chaos <zerochaos@gentoo.org>
-Content-Type: text/plain
-Posted: 2014-03-02
-Revision: 1

-Display-If-Installed: <sys-apps/portage-2.2.0_alpha130
-
-The Gentoo Council has decided that the entire profile tree will be
-updated to require EAPI=5 support.
-
-http://www.gentoo.org/proj/en/council/meeting-logs/20140114.txt
-
-For all non-deprecated profiles this requirement has already been in
-place for over one year. If you have updated your system at any point
-during 2013, and followed the instructions in the profile deprecation
-warnings (which cannot really easily be overlooked), and are running an
-up-to-date portage version, there is absolutely nothing that you need
-to do now.
-
-If you are running an installation that has not been updated for more
-than a year, the portage tree you have just updated to may be
-incompatible with your portage version, and the profile you are using
-may be gone.
-
-It is still possible to upgrade, following these simple steps:
-
-1.) Do not panic.
-2.) Download a portage snapshot from
- http://dev.gentoo.org/~zerochaos/snapshots
-3.) Unpack the snapshot to ~/tmp
-4.) If you are not already, become root
-5.) # rsync --recursive --links --safe-links --perms --times --force \
- --whole-file --delete --stats --human-readable \
- --exclude=/distfiles --exclude=/local --exclude=/packages \
- --verbose --progress --omit-dir-times /tmp/portage /usr/portage
-6.) # chown portage.portage -R /usr/portage
-6.) If needed, set your profile to a modern one (typically named 13.0)
-7.) # eselect profile list
-8.) # eselect profile set <desired profile>
-9.) emerge --update --oneshot portage
-
-Now that you have a modern copy of portage, you can go back to updating
-your system as usual. Please update your system at LEAST twice a year
-to avoid issues like this in the future.
-
-Thanks for flying Gentoo.
