app-portage/lintool makes the assumption that portage is located in /usr/portage. Since portage allows PORTDIR to be set to anything, lintool should read make.conf to get the actual location, instead of hardcoding /usr/portage. Possible offenders: $ for i in /usr/bin/lintool /usr/lib/python2.3/site-packages/lintool/*.py; do echo $i: `grep "/usr/portage" $i`; done /usr/bin/lintool: 'licenseDirs' : [ "/usr/portage/licenses" ], /usr/lib/python2.3/site-packages/lintool/ebuild.py: ins = open("/usr/portage/profiles/use.desc") Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. emerge lintool 2. set PORTDIR to something other than /usr/portage 3. run lintool Actual Results: Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/bin/lintool", line 319, in ? main() File "/usr/bin/lintool", line 249, in main available_tests = ebuild.getTests(formatter, options) File "/usr/lib/python2.3/site-packages/lintool/ebuild.py", line 344, in getTests return [ TestSpaces(formatter,options), File "/usr/lib/python2.3/site-packages/lintool/ebuild.py", line 297, in __init__ self.useflags = self.loadUseFlags() File "/usr/lib/python2.3/site-packages/lintool/ebuild.py", line 300, in loadUseFlags ins = open("/usr/portage/profiles/use.desc") IOError: [Errno 2] No such file or directory: '/usr/portage/profiles/use.desc' Expected Results: lintool should dynamically determine PORTDIR and run successfully
You really should be using repoman rather then lintool, not even sure if lintool has been updated for portage changes (going by this bug, I'd suspect not).
lintool? updated? 'll probably put it in package.mask in the next days after checking with the original author (g2boojum I believe).
ferrinb, Thanks for the tip. I was under the impression that repoman was for devs when commiting to CVS. If this isn't soley the case, then maybe the repoman's manual page should be updated, as it says: "repoman is meant for Gentoo developers only due to the fact it does not work on a per-ebuild basis. It checks the quality of CVS repositories. If you want some utility to check out the quality of ebuilds, emerge app-portage/lintool. Note: repoman only runs inside local CVS repositories." Is repoman now allowed to work outside of a CVS repos? If this is the case, let me know, and I'll file another bug regarding the manual page. Thanks
no need to file a bug, I'll update it now. As for lintool, I'll remove it from the tree at the end of next week if noone objects and stands up to be its maintainer.
