Bug 207104 – repoman false positive with ebuild.autotools

• Status: RESOLVED FIXED
• Product: Portage Development

[Description SpanKY 2008-01-23 00:12:10 UTC]

running `repoman full` on coreutils yields:

  ebuild.autotools              4
   sys-apps/coreutils/coreutils-6.10.ebuild: Direct calls to 'automake' instead of using autotools.eclass on line: 29
   sys-apps/coreutils/coreutils-6.10.ebuild: Direct calls to 'autoconf' instead of using autotools.eclass on line: 30

i thought that was kind of weird considering i know this uses autotools.eclass, but let's look at it ...

$ sed -n '25,33p' coreutils-6.10.ebuild

ack!  repoman is warning on the DEPEND!

yeah running qgrep -Hex '^[^#]*([^e/]|^)(autoconf|automake|aclocal|libtoolize)' shows other types of false positives too. should have figured out this way of testing before submitting the patch :)

I've converted this to a runtime 'QA Notice' since it's hard to correctly parse bash.

This has been released in 2.1.4.1.
