Our automated repository checks [1] have detected that the 'arc'
repository lacks masters= specification. This causes some Package
Managers to be unable to use the repository, and will become fatal in
Portage at some point.

Master repositories provide various resources to the sub-repositories in
the way of inheritance. For example, a repository inherits eclasses,
licenses, mirrors provided by the master. Additionally, it requires the
master repository to be enabled, therefore allowing the packages
provided by it to satisfy dependencies.

In particular, if your repository uses any eclasses, licenses, mirrors,
global USE flags or any other resources provided by the Gentoo
repository, or depends on any packages provided by it, it needs to
specify in metadata/layout.conf:

    masters = gentoo

However, if your repository is fully stand-alone and any package
provided by it can be installed without any other repository being
enabled, you should specify empty masters= to indicate this:

    masters =

Please fix the issue ASAP. It prevents our tools from working on the
repository, and mirroring it. We reserve the right to remove it if we do
not receive any reply within 2 weeks.

@Arc Riley, are you the owner of arcriley@gmail.com and the arc overlay?

Comment 2 Arc Riley 2015-06-23 19:52:46 UTC

Yes, and I'm not interested in doing any work on this overlay at this time or the near future.

Nobody is using the overlay but me, I'm not really even using it, and I really don't care to be involved in your automated QA checks. If you're not happy with that, you're free to delete it. Otherwise, thanks for the notice but please focus your attention elsewhere.
