I have discovered a case where repoman fails to commit the Manifest on the second pass. This seems to be related to being in a symlinked location of an overlay. On the system where I reproduced this: /usr/portage is an rsync copy of the tree. PORTDIR_OVERLAY=/code/gentoo/gentoo-cvs/gentoo-x86 which is my CVS checkout. If I'm under the $PORTDIR_OVERLAY directly, commits work fine. However, I also have a symlink at /usr/local/portage pointing to the overlay. If I commit from the symlinked path version, then repoman fails to commit the Manifest on the second pass. Short version: # Works cd $PORTDIR_OVERLAY/$CAT/$PN ; ... ; repoman ci -m '....' # Does not work ln -s $PORTDIR_OVERLAY /elsewhere ; cd /elsewhere/$CAT/$PN ; ... ; repoman ci -m '...'

zmedico: verified. works 100%.
This is fixed in 2.2_pre3.
This is supposed to be fixed in portage-2.2_pre5 or earlier.
