http://sources.gentoo.org/viewcvs.py/gentoolkit/trunk/gentoolkit-dev/src/ebump/ebump?rev=604 Please test :) (I suggest to use echangelog from svn too)
gentoolkit-dev-0.2.6.11 has been released. I will close after independent verification that the bug is fixed.
Everything fine now from gentoolkit-dev-0.2.6.11 onwards. Just check your /etc/gentoolkit/ebump.conf and change opt_add_cvs=y to opt_add_vcs=y and remove AUTHOREMAIL/AUTHORNAME from /etc/gentoolkit/ebump.conf, ~/.gentoo/ebump.conf, ~/.gentoo/gentool-env or any other place where you set env variables. Closing with fixed
