KEYWORDS="*" is invalid as per PMS

repoman does not warn about it

probably should make it into a layout.conf option so we can enable it in the main gentoo repo

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.

Not sure if pkgcheck does this.

Comment 4 Arthur Zamarin archtester

After checking it in pkgcheck, it reports for those two wrong keywords:

UnknownKeywords: version 1: unknown KEYWORDS: '*'
UnknownKeywords: version 2: unknown KEYWORDS: '~*'

While "-*" is accepted of course (as correct by PMS).

So it is already implemented in pkgcheck, so closing
