there are few cases where one ebuild may require several git repositories. although you can put multi repo in EGIT_REPO_URI, but it seems doesn't work. Reproducible: Always Actual Results: set EGIT_REPO_URI="git://myfoobar.org/foo.git git://myfoobar.org/bar.git" if will download one repo (the first) - git://myfoobar.org/foo.git and put into ${DISTDIR}/egit-src/bar.git. only one repository was cloned/fetched. current acutal log: # ebuild myfoobar-9999.ebuild unpack >>> Unpacking source...

after talking to @mgorny, this can be achieved to call git-2_src_unpack() multi times to fetch several repos. src_unpack() { EGIT_REPO_URI="git://myfoobar.org/foo.git" EGIT_SOURCEDIR="${S}/foo" git-2_src_unpack EGIT_REPO_URI="git://myfoobar.org/bar.git" EGIT_SOURCEDIR="${S}/bar" git-2_src_unpack } thanks
In my opinion this is not something we should do. The effort and potential confusion would be greater than the benefit, and AFAIK no other VCS eclass supports multi-repo natively. If there's something that causes trouble when doing multiple eclass function calls, please let us know and we'll fix it. But currently this seems like the proper thing to do -- or at least most proper, considering that using multiple repositories like that is broken by design.
Use git-r3.eclass instead
