Description Arfrever Frehtes Taifersar Arahesis 2012-05-06 02:49:59 UTC
REPOSITORY variable should be set in ebuild environment, similarly to CATEGORY and PN variables. REPOSITORY variable would have value from ${repository_path}/profiles/repo_name.
Comment 1 Ulrich Müller gentoo-dev 2012-05-06 08:57:19 UTC
Why?
Comment 2 Arfrever Frehtes Taifersar Arahesis 2012-05-06 14:13:47 UTC
Such a knowledge might be useful for some ebuilds in overlays. It does not matter if it would be useful in gentoo-x86.
Comment 3 Ulrich Müller gentoo-dev 2012-08-14 07:40:26 UTC
The same arguments as in bug 414815 apply here. Ebuilds shouldn't change their behaviour if moved to a different repository. Therefore they shouldn't need to know in what repository they are located.
