This is the error I get: spatz@kamino ~ $ epkginfo gcc Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/bin/epkginfo-2.6", line 34, in <module> main(args) File "/usr/lib64/python2.6/site-packages/gentoolkit/equery/meta.py", line 488, in main call_format_functions(matches) File "/usr/lib64/python2.6/site-packages/gentoolkit/equery/meta.py", line 261, in call_format_functions herds = format_herds(ref_pkg.metadata.herds(include_email=True)) File "/usr/lib64/python2.6/site-packages/gentoolkit/metadata.py", line 232, in herds herd_mail = self._get_herd_email(elem.text) File "/usr/lib64/python2.6/site-packages/gentoolkit/metadata.py", line 208, in _get_herd_email self._herdstree = etree.parse(herds_path) File "<string>", line 45, in parse File "<string>", line 22, in parse IOError: [Errno 2] No such file or directory: u'/home/spatz/dev/gentoo-x86/metadata/herds.xml' It did work in 0.3.0_rc7 though.
epkginfo was changed to be a wrapper that calls equery meta to generate the same output. This change was tested extensively against the portage tree, unfortunately, no one doing the testing thought to run it against a CVS tree. As a workaround until it is fixed, you can grab the older epkginfo from: http://sources.gentoo.org/viewcvs.py/gentoolkit/trunk/deprecated/epkginfo/
$ svn commit -m "Fix epkginfo to not traceback if herds.xml is not in the tree" Sending gentoolkit/ChangeLog Sending gentoolkit/pym/gentoolkit/metadata.py Transmitting file data .. Committed revision 732.
Released in gentoolkit-0.3.0_rc9
