i just came across these gems today: ./net-dialup/fcdsl/fcdsl-0.1.ebuild: DISTDIR="${WORKDIR}" unpack ${PN}-suse[0-9][0-9]-[0-9].[0-9]*-[0-9]*.tar.gz apparently the developer was unaware of the ./ syntax that unpack supports, or this code predates it. either way, it makes no sense today and can easily be changed to: unpack ./${PN}-suse[0-9][0-9]-[0-9].[0-9]*-[0-9]*.tar.gz grepping the tree for DISTDIR= usage shows a bunch of these miscreants, but i do see one usage in www-apache/passenger that might be a false positive: DISTDIR=${D} rake fakeroot || die could the ruby/apache teams comment on this ?
(In reply to comment #0) > grepping the tree for DISTDIR= usage shows a bunch of these miscreants, but i > do see one usage in www-apache/passenger that might be a false positive: > DISTDIR=${D} rake fakeroot || die This got introduced by Benedikt in passenger-2.0.1 since the fakeroot target in the Rakefile uses the environment variable DISTDIR to determine where to install stuff. So yes, looks like false positive.
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.
Need to check whether pkgcheck supports this.
