Description charles17 2019-12-27 11:33:40 UTC

Using "eselect repository add <repo_name> git <repo_uri>" should cross-check the <repo_name> with the repositories repo_name.


su -c "eselect repository add foobar git https://github.com/pchome/proton-gentoo-overlay"
Password: 
Adding foobar to /etc/portage/repos.conf ...
Repository foobar added



 su -c "emaint sync -r foobar"
Password: 
>>> Syncing repository 'foobar' into '/var/db/repos/foobar'...

!!! Section 'foobar' in repos.conf has name different from repository name 'proton' set inside repository

Action: sync for repo: foobar, returned code = 0

I'm sorry but eselect-repo is supposed to contain no VCS support of its own.  Instead, it relies entirely on the package manager to do the syncing.  It can't do what you're asking for without violating this principle.

I can add a 'rename' option if you'd find that helpful.  However, it's also trivially doable via editing repos.conf, so I'm not sure if there's a point.
