They do not unless you also freeze the ebuilds, as I repeatedly said in the other thread. |
I would have assumed the two are totally unrelated -- that the only solution is freezing the ebuilds, *given the current profiles design* and given the constraint that one wishes to *freeze* the profiles -- which is not actually the topic anymore -- and that funtoo's "ego" tool cannot code its way out of that.
But the possibility raised in this thread is that ::gentoo's existing profiles could be reorganized to more directly support parenting individual features -- for example, removing X and wayland from the desktop profile and moving them to profiles/features/xorg etc. and then making the desktop profile *inherit that*.
Such a design would be better suited to individuals wishing to derive their own custom profiles based on "default/linux/amd64/23.0" (the server profile), as well as for tools such as funtoo's "ego" that offer a way to synthesize derived profiles interactively, based on the current latest version of profiles/ |

Thanks for the information. I just assume the two need to work together, |
