FYI ($>> indicates a shell prompt): $>>layman -i ALL 2>/dev/null | grep -c 'Type.*Subversion' 82 $>>layman -i ALL 2>/dev/null | grep -c 'Type.*Git' 177 $>> IOW, the listed svn overlays number less than half the git overlays. Whether a layman pkg_setup message should complain about lack of support for any specific type is questionable (arguably if the installation lacks support for /any/ type, a complaint might be worthwhile, but favoring any one type?), but if any specific type is to be favored, given the above stats and the continuing trend toward git, shouldn't it be git, not svn? (Reading this message at every layman upgrade has annoyed me for awhile. Today I decided to actually do the numbers and file this bug... as trivial.)
Thanks for the analysis. 15:04 < darkside_> idl0r: bug 358649, i want to reduce the noise by removing the pkg_setup() from all layman ebuilds, is that ok? 15:04 < willikins> darkside_: https://bugs.gentoo.org/358649 "app-portage/layman pkg_setup message"; Portage Development, Third-Party Tools; NEW; 1i5t5.duncan:tools-portage 15:07 < idl0r> darkside_: yup, feel free + 14 Apr 2011; Jeremy Olexa <darkside@gentoo.org> layman-1.2.3.ebuild, + layman-1.3.3.ebuild, layman-1.3.4.ebuild, layman-1.4.1.ebuild, + layman-1.4.2.ebuild, layman-9999.ebuild: + remove pkg_setup noise from all ebuild versions, bug 358649
