Hi,

I switched to the 2008.0 profile with "eselect profile set". Now every
ebuild is masked. Is the 2008.0 profile not yet usable or are some
special adjustments necessary?

Which 2008.0 profile? eselect shows four for amd64, probably the same
number for other arches, which one are you using?

Not sure in your case, although if you provide some more
information we may be able to determine if you have a problem.
For example, which arch are you running? Which profile were you
using before switching to 2008.0? When's the last time you
sync'd and updated world?

I'm running 2008.0 currently with no problems. However I did a
fresh install with the 2008.0 minimal install CD. Some relevant
output on my system:

eselect profile list|grep 9
[9] default/linux/x86/2008.0 *

emerge --info | grep ACCEPT
ACCEPT_KEYWORDS="x86"

uname -a
Linux sys-0 2.6.24-gentoo-r4 #1 SMP Sat Apr 19 13:48:42 EDT 2008

I switched from 2007.0, it's synced and updated.

# eselect profile show
Current make.profile symlink:
/usr/portage/profiles/default/linux/amd64/2008.0/desktop

ACCEPT_KEYWORDS="amd64"

But I think I found the problem. The packages are not masked in emerge,
but are shown as masked in eix. It seems to be only an eix problem
(version 0.10.5)

Yes I did. It didn't help.

Try running a later eix, I use 0.12.4 here and the switch to 2008.0 was
painless.

eix-0.12.4 is the only version that currently works with the 2008
profile. This is because of the multiple inheritance used by those
profiles, which simply isn't supported in versions prior to eix-0.12.4.
