Repoman "sees" USE_EXPAND variables only if they were defined in profile which was pointed by /etc/make.profile or if it is defined in base profile (not sure). To reproduce create profiles/some_profile/make.defaults file with USE_EXPAND variable add desc/use_expand.desc in overlay too. repoman will still issue warnings about IUSE.invalid on this variable even if it is described in desc/use_expand.desc. [21:34:42] <zmedico> looking at the code... it will only work if the USE_EXPAND is in the base profile [21:34:46] <zmedico> so that's kind of a bug [21:35:14] <zmedico> can it only grabs from /profiles/desc/ in PORTDIR, not overlays atm [21:35:39] <zmedico> this all shouldn't be too hard to fix [21:39:38] <zmedico> well it grabs USE_EXPAND from whatever your /etc/make.profile profile is [21:39:44] <zmedico> which is totally broken of course [21:40:05] <zmedico> so USE_EXPAND will be whatever it gets from traversing that [21:40:47] <zmedico> then it takes those values and uses them when parsing $PORTDIR/profiles/desc [21:41:09] <zmedico> it only looks for files for the use_expand values it knows
repoman support has been removed per bug 835013. Please file a new bug (or, I suppose, reopen this one) if you feel this check is still applicable to pkgcheck and doesn't already exist.
