Description SpanKY gentoo-dev 2008-01-31 14:43:24 UTC 
with the digest files punted, the files/ dir may go away during cvs up (due to the recommended flags -Pd), and repoman will simply fail:

>>> Creating Manifest for /usr/local/gentoo-x86/app-misc/ca-certificates
  CVS/Entries.IO_error          1
   /usr/local/gentoo-x86/app-misc/ca-certificates/files/CVS/Entries
Please fix these important QA issues first.

  filedir.missing               1
   /usr/local/gentoo-x86/app-misc/ca-certificates
Please fix these important QA issues first.

Comment 1 SpanKY gentoo-dev 2008-01-31 14:49:07 UTC 
hmm, the stupid manifest obsolete file is in the top level of the repo, not the profiles/ subdir ...
Comment 2 SpanKY gentoo-dev 2008-01-31 15:39:01 UTC 
so people who dont feel like updating the whole tree ...

run in the top level:
cvs up -l
cd profiles
cvs up
