Currently repoman is configured in make.conf. While I was explaining how to setup manifest signing I once more thought awkward config location which I spelled out loud. There was nothing but agreement. So, the following are user specific and shouldn't have to be put into a global config file: ECHANGELOG_USER="Ralph Sennhauser <sera@gentoo.org>" PORTAGE_GPG_DIR=/home/sera/.gnupg PORTAGE_GPG_KEY=3C5CF75A And this one feels redundant: FEATURES=sign So my suggestion would be to implement a ~/.repomanrc. Maybe using an ini style config would be preferable over a shell style one? It could also be home for other options like warnings-are-errors or include-dev-profiles and options to specify where to write stuff to (dtd, distfiles). The latter would be useful as repoman is usually run as a normal user which shouldn't be able to write to /usr/portage.

Yeah, I guess we could have an [environment] section for things that should directly override make.conf variables, and we can add other section(s) for things that don't correspond to make.conf variables.
repoman support has been removed per bug 835013. Please file a new bug (or, I suppose, reopen this one) if you feel this check is still applicable to pkgcheck and doesn't already exist.
pkgcheck has ~/.config/pkgcheck
