The ASCII-art representation of profile building/'stacking' is very hard to follow .. does anyone have any ideas for a better representation?! -- veremit (talk) 21:19, 4 May 2018 (UTC)
- The diagram gets complicated because it tries to simultaneously show filesystem layout and settings inheritance. I simplified it, feel free to improve it or reopen the discussion. — GuillermoDH (talk) 19:04, 23 December 2018 (UTC)

The syntax given for a custom profile parent file, gentoo:path/in/profiles, is not accepted by (at least up to) sys-devel/portage-3.0.43-r1:
!!! Unable to parse profile: '/etc/make.profile' !!! ParseError: Parent '/var/db/repos/jmbreuer/profiles/default/linux/x86/17.0/desktop/systemd/gentoo:default/linux/x86/17.0/desktop' not found: '/var/db/repos/jmbreuer/profiles/default/linux/x86/17.0/desktop/systemd/parent'
As a workaround, I've used /usr/portage/profiles/... for now, but that's obviously not portable with respect to $PORTDIR. What's the proper way to reference profiles in one repository from another one at this time?
