The 'sunrise-commit' script installed by app-portage/overlay-utils is quite outdated and not maintained anymore. Moreover, it uses ancient tools like 'echangelog-tng' and certainly isn't ready for Sunrise svn->git migration. I've created an alternative 'sunrise-commit' script, written for scratch but with syntax compatiblity and continuos versioning in mind. It supports all the command-line options old sunrise-commit does, and introduces few new features. The most important features my script introduces are: * support for both Subversion and GIT repositories (including git-svn), * use of modern 'echangelog' and 'repoman commit' (I'm working on patches to repoman too), * simplified ChangeLog handling -- '-c' option isn't effective anymore, sunrise-commit resets the ChangeLog and recreates the entry each time it is called, * resolving of bug numbers to titles in commit messages (incl. requiring a bug number on initial commit), * support for doing nice and clean package removals with sunrise-commit (incl. removing few packages at once, and checking reverse dependencies is planned). Additionally, use of modern tools mentioned before made the script much simpler. I would appreciate review and (after some testing and fixing important bugs) replacing the original overlay-utils package with my script. After first reviews and test, I could prepare a package and commit the ebuild as overlay-utils-0.3, package.masked.
mgorny committed this to gentoo-x86 yesterday.
