Description Alain Penders (RETIRED) gentoo-dev

Although I'm in a local CVS checkout of gentoo-x86, repoman constantly keeps on
looking at /usr/portage.  Setting PORTDIR to my CVS copy fixes this, but from
what I understand should not be needed.  If it is needed, it's prime time to
update the repoman manual :-)

For example:

/home/alain> cd gentoo/gentoo-x86/dev-util/subversion/
dev-util/subversion> ls
CVS  ChangeLog  files  subversion-0.10_pre1.ebuild  subversion-0.16.ebuild
dev-util/subversion> repoman

RepoMan scours the neighborhood...

The latest version of repoman fixes this by setting PORTDIR to the directory you're working in, but it still requires running as root before repoman works correctly :-(

Did you add your user to group portage?
Another path bug is fixed for 47-r9, also.

Comment 3 Alain Penders (RETIRED) gentoo-dev

Nope.  Since repoman doesn't write anything, I shouldn't really have to...

Comment 4 Nicholas Jones (RETIRED) gentoo-dev

It does... It can't create deps without being in the portage group...
and if it can't create the deps, it can't check syntax errors nor make
any reasonable reports about the ebuild.
