Created attachment 345704 [details] poc This was already discussed on irc with Zac, here is the summary. When I/someone try to commit a package, sometimes there are repoman complains (mostly dependency.bad) that cause failures. In the most of the cases, if we are talking about a stabilization, the complain does not regard the arch in question, so is a pita get a failure every time and/or retry with --force. So, for example, if I'm committing for arm, have anything like: repoman commit --include-arches arm -m "Stable for arm" will catch only the problem that regards arm. Why --ignore-arches is not fine in this case: man repoman says: -i, --ignore-arches - Ignore arch-specific failures (where arch != host) Obviously I have not a gentoo-x86 repository for each machine/chroot, so if, for example, I'm doing the commit from an x86_64 machine and I'm trying to stabilize for x86, this option is not valid. Attached an example.
This is fixed in git: http://git.overlays.gentoo.org/gitweb/?p=proj/portage.git;a=commit;h=9f14442ada82b5a076b1ea0093f0e9f133c10b47
This is fixed in 2.1.11.63 and 2.2.0_alpha174.
