well, I'm noticing an even bigger problem...
I followed the instructions located at http://www.funtoo.org/Creating_Profilesand epro can't even see the dummy overlay I just created. I'm pretty sure I did everything on that guide, yet epro refuses to list anything I just created. I'm not too keen on the idea of giving up, but not having the profiles show up at all raises more questions.
I closed the bug tracker issue, I am incapable of working with epro since the instructions provided aren't working (or aren't detailed properly).
