Our automated repository checks [1] have detected that the 'strohel' repository contains ebuilds that trigger fatal errors during the cache regeneration. This usually means that the ebuilds call 'die' in global scope indicating serious issues. Global-scope failures prevent the ebuild not only from being installed but also from being properly processed by the Package Manager. Since metadata can not be obtained for those ebuilds, no cache entries are created for them and the Package Manager needs to retry running them every time it stumbles upon them. This involves both a serious slowdown and repeating error output while performing dependency resolution. The most common cause of global-scope failures is use of removed or banned APIs in old ebuilds. In particular, this includes eclasses being removed or removing support for old EAPIs. Nonetheless there are also other issues such as performing illegal operations in global scope (external program calls), malformed bash in ebuilds or malformed metadata.xml. The error log for the repository can be found at: https://qa-reports.gentoo.org/output/repos/strohel.html In particular, please look for highlighted '!!! ERROR' and '!!! caught exception' lines. The former usually mean failures coming from eclasses and the ebuild itself, while exceptions usually mean malformed ebuilds or metadata.xml. While at it, please consider fixing global-scope 'use' call warnings (if any). They are not fatal but are considered a serious QA violation. 'use' functions must not ever be called outside of phase functions. Please fix the issue ASAP, possibly via removing unmaintained, old ebuilds. We reserve the right to remove the repository from our list if we do not receive any reply within 4 weeks. [1]:https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/Project:Repository_mirror_and_CI
Ping.
Will look at those, thanks.
Should be resolved by now (by removal of outdated ebuilds). Setting to IN_PROGRESS (I assume automated script will close this).
There are still more issues to be fixed. Please fix them until the linked output lists no more. It's refreshed every 20 minutes. I'm sorry that it doesn't report all of them at once.
Thanks for the info. I see https://qa-reports.gentoo.org/output/repos/strohel.html is still listing errors for e.g media-sound/musescore/musescore-0.9.5.ebuild, but this package has been removed completely from the repo: https://github.com/strohel/strohel-overlay Is it possible that the results are currently delayed somehow? Is there a time of last run somewhere?
https://qa-reports.gentoo.org/output/repos/strohel.html reports no problems now.
The bug seems to be fixed in the repository. Closing.
