Bug 414123 – repoman reports LIVEVCS.unmasked even if EGIT_COMMIT/ESVN_REVISION... is set

• Product: Portage Development
• Status: RESOLVED FIXED

[Description Julian Ospald 2012-04-30 15:27:28 UTC]

This may be desired behavior, but when I set a commit-hash for EGIT_COMMIT for example I could argue that this is not a live-ebuild.

However repoman will complain about it.

What is the position from the portage developers on this?

It's more a question for the gentoo-dev mailing list. We follow whatever prevailing wisdom comes from there.

Anyway, I'd suggest to create a snapshot. One of the reasons for not using the vcs directly is to avoid excessive load.

However distfiles-local infrastructure is not provided for maintainers of overlays, so LIVEVCS.unmasked check could be disabled when repo_name != gentoo.

Good idea. This is in git:

This is in 2.2.0_alpha102.

[Comment 6 Zac Medico 2012-05-09 23:16:36 UTC]

This is fixed in 2.1.10.58.
