The latest pylint in portage is 0.4.0, but upstream has both a new 0.4.2 stable release and a 0.5.0 development release. 0.4.2 should probably be added. The current ebuild works for that, but I fixed a dependency: optik is only needed if python 2.3 is not available. I'm not sure if 0.5.0 should go in too, it seems to have some quirks (it gives me a traceback if I run it without any input files for instance). I haven't used this one much. If it does go in, it needs logilab-common-0.7.1, which works with the logilab-common-0.5.0 ebuild. Attaching ebuild patches. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. emerge pylint 2. 3.
