using latest portage (2.3.51) and crossdev (20180918) on my ~amd64 box, i keep on having this kind of error

cross-avr-binutils.log.xz:
Calculating dependencies   * Missing digest for '/usr/portage-overlay/cross-avr/avr-libc/avr-libc-2.0.0.ebuild'
. * Missing digest for '/usr/portage-overlay/cross-avr/binutils/binutils-9999.ebuild'

For some reason, it sometimes even fails silently, saying
------------------------------------------------------------------------

------------------------------------------------------------------------
but nothing was emerged for cross-avr-binutils, and cross-avr-binutils.log indeed is filled with those same "missing digest" errors.

I tried to remove the cross-avr/ directory created by crossutils and start again, but it fails as well.

What does /usr/portage-overlay/layout/metadata/layout.conf contain? Does it match ::gentoo setup?

[Comment 3 Thomas Capricelli 2018-10-31 00:12:42 UTC]

I have no "/usr/portage-overlay/layout" directory. The overlay otherwise works pretty well. Did i miss something ?

[Comment 4 Thomas Capricelli 2018-10-31 00:14:33 UTC]

I have only this:

orzel@berlioz /usr/portage-overlay% cat metadata/layout.conf 
masters = gentoo

I guess your main ::gentoo tree has thin manifests (if you are using git checkout). thin manfests don't include 'EBUILD' entries.

As crossdev symlinks ebuild directories from main tree you need to keep overlay configuration in sync with ::gentoo.

You will need to add
    thin-manifests = true
to metadata/layout.conf.

Or you can delete 'metadata/layout.conf' and let crossdev to regenerate and maintain the file.

[Comment 6 Thomas Capricelli 2018-10-31 23:15:00 UTC]

Indeed, you were right, it works now.

Sorry for the noise, i didn't know about those tree subtleties.

Thanks !

[Comment 7 Sergei Trofimovich (RETIRED) 2018-11-05 23:30:56 UTC]

Ah, no problem. We'll add something to crossdev itself to detect this kind of inconsistency and report it explicitly.
