Description jieryn 2007-05-17 22:06:32 UTC
I help maintain a private overlay for my corporate Gentoo population. We use an overlay to distribute private packages. Some of these packages make use of local USE flags which are not found in /usr/portage/profile/use{,.local}.desc .. our $PORTDIR_OVERLAY/profiles/use.local.desc contains a description for 'hsm' however repoman complains with:

 IUSE.invalid                   7
   app-backup/tsm/tsm-5.4.0.0.ebuild: hsm



Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. repoman full
2.
3.

Well, then the entry is invalid, has a typo or whatever. Fix it; repoman works just fine with this.

Yes, I validate it works for me now that I've put the use.local.desc into every one of my private overlays, instead of just one of them. Sorry, and thank you. :-D
