Hi
From eselect profile command , what does 17.0 means here?
What is the difference between
Code:
   [6]   default/linux/amd64/13.0/desktop/plasma *
and
Code:
 [18]  default/linux/amd64/17.0/desktop/plasma

Which one is better ?
Code:

jules@grodos ~ $ eselect profile list

13.0 is old, 17.0 is new, there is a news item in portage as well as multiple threads in https://forums.gentoo.org/viewforum-f-8.html already.

The news item is entitled "2017-11-30-new-17-profiles," and it says the 17 profiles depend on GCC 6, which produces position independent executables by default. Thus the news item includes the several-step procedure for the upgrade. The news item also requests:
Quote:
"please migrate away from the 13.0 profiles within the six weeks after GCC 6.4.0 has been stabilized on your architecture"

After having issues with updating my system I looked at the profile list also and seen the same thing and also had the same question as the OP.
But I'm not find any reference in news for this on my system
Code:
# eselect news list
News items:
  [1]      2013-06-01  PBXT now unsupported in MySQL/MariaDB
  [2]      2013-09-27  Separate /usr on Linux requires initramfs
  [3]      2014-06-15  GCC 4.8.3 defaults to -fstack-protector
  [4]      2014-10-26  GCC 4.7 Introduced the New C++11 ABI
  [5]      2015-02-01  ffmpeg/libav conflict management: USE=libav
  [6]      2015-02-02  New portage plug-in sync system
  [7]      2015-04-16  FFmpeg default
  [8]      2015-07-25  Python 3.4 enabled by default
  [9]      2015-08-13  OpenSSH 7.0 disables ssh-dss keys by default
  [10]     2015-10-22  GCC 5 Defaults to the New C++11 ABI
  [11]     2015-12-16  Python ABIFLAGS rebuild needed
  [12]     2016-06-19  L10N USE_EXPAND variable replacing LINGUAS
  [13]     2016-08-11  Grub2 multislot default setting is changing
  [14]     2017-10-13  OpenRC "service" binary removal


I used eix-sync to update my repos just before adding this. What am I missing or am i looking in the wrong place?

amd64 and gcc is 5.4.0-r3

I haven't been able to update my system because of the python issue that everyone is having presently.

Ok. Thanks. GCC 6.4.0 is stable for your Arch. Maybe you will get the profile news when you upgrade GCC since you can't use the new profile until you do that upgrade

cool ,
I updated. It s now.
Code:



jules@grodos ~ $ eselect profile list
Available profile symlink targets:
  ...
  [18]  default/linux/amd64/17.0/desktop/plasma *



Is there anything else I should do ? Should I remove the old gcc ? or it s just fine coz my gcc is now
Code:

jules@grodos ~ $ gcc -v

Cool. I assume you also got the news item now?

After upgrading GCC, I typically make a deliberate effort to check "gcc-config -l" to ensure the new compiler has been selected. If not, I select it and follow the advice of output to source /etc/profile Then I deliberately run fix_libtoo_files.sh with the old gcc version number (e.g. fix_libtool_files.sh 5.4.0 last time I did it). Then, usually I have found that the old compiler version is removed when I run emerge -av --depclean as part of my routine update sequence (which I know you didn't ask about, but I have listed the basics of, below)

Code:
emerge --sync
emerge -uavDN world                # sometimes add --with-bdeps=y
eselect news read new              # apply adivce
dispatch-conf
show-elogs                        # a script I use to pull and review the latest elogs, so I can apply important advice before proceding
emerge -av --depclean
emerge -av @preserved-rebuild
revdep-rebuild

# as needed, I might add at this point steps to run:
   perl-cleaner --all
   python-updater
   emerge @module-rebuild
   emerge @x11-module-rebuild
   rlpkg -a -r
   rkhunter --propupd

eclean-pkg
eclean-dist -d
localepurge

Cheers

Nobody's given the boring answer to the original question yet, so for posterity…

"17.0" means year 2017, version 0. Before that we had 13.0 and 10.0, really old ones (if we had any that long ago) weren't year-based. Times change, and sane defaults change with them. The main feature of this one is making GCC use PIE by default, for a bit more security that previously only hardened users had. It may or may not make prelinking slightly more effective. One of either 13.0 or 10.0 changed the default LDFLAGS to "-O1 --as-needed" which went a long way to fixing the nightmare that revdep-rebuild used to be. (Maybe we'll get a 21.0 that'll split use flags by ABI, because right now things like steam/wine are just as much of a headache…)

Thanks brendlefly62 and Ant P. for the detailed cool answer. I really appreciate 8) :D

rlpkg is relevant only if you use SELinux. It will "relabel" your filesystem. I am NOT a SELinux expert, others would probably have better advice if you plan to go there :D

Hardened is going away. It's all in the eselect news article.

I followed the instructions in eselect article exactly, my system upgraded without any complications.

sys-kernel/hardened-sources is going away {i.e. hardened KERNEL} -- there is a separate news item covering that.

the hardening features supported by Gentoo's hardened PROFILE remain -- as we can see in the original post here, option [14] now provides "hardened" under "default/linux/<arch>/17.0/"; options [24] - [30] & [32] also still provide the traditional "hardened/" alternative to the "default/" profiles. I presume the latter is a temporary arrangement to support legacy hardened users until they can migrate.

additionally, since GCC 6 produces PIC by default, systems based on the 17.0 profiles (which depend on GCC 6) should all be somewhat "harder" than their 13.0-based predecessors

fwiw - from experience, I found that some of the grsec features of the hardened KERNEL always broke desktop, but I somewhat-successfully ran KDE5/Plasma with a pax kernel from hardened-sources on a system built on the legacy "hardened" PROFILE. I used emerge --info with both the "default/.../plasma" and the "hardened" profile to identify global USE differences, and I scoured the per-package USE settings in the plasma profile tree in order to build my own package.use/plasma USE file [I've since learned that you can run emerge -pve @world under each profile to find these per-package differences more easily]. this was a very tedious experiment, and polkitd was never happy with it. presumably you could do something similar using 17.0/hardened and 17.0/desktop profiles -- to find both the global and per-package differences, but I'd recommend just sticking to the 17.0/desktop profiles if you want a desktop that works

Thanks for the advice brendlefly62.
I will stick to my desktop profile from now, no need for hardening things as gcc is upgraded. By the way I do not need much hustle
