Description Michał Górny archtester Gentoo Infrastructure gentoo-dev Security 2018-04-12 20:34:39 UTC
Our automated repository checks [1] have detected that the 'fem-overlay'
repository contains ebuilds that trigger fatal errors during the cache
regeneration. This usually means that the ebuilds call 'die' in global
scope indicating serious issues or have other serious QA violations.

Global-scope failures prevent the ebuild not only from being installed
but also from being properly processed by the Package Manager. Since
metadata can not be obtained for those ebuilds, no cache entries are
created for them and the Package Manager needs to retry running them
every time it stumbles upon them. This involves both a serious slowdown
and repeating error output while performing dependency resolution.

The most common cause of global-scope failures is use of removed or
banned APIs in old ebuilds. In particular, this includes eclasses being
removed or removing support for old EAPIs. Nonetheless there are also
other issues such as performing illegal operations in global scope
(external program calls), malformed bash in ebuilds or malformed
metadata.xml.

The error log for the repository can be found at:

  https://qa-reports.gentoo.org/output/repos/fem-overlay.html

In particular, please look for highlighted '!!! ERROR' and '!!! caught
exception' lines. The former usually mean failures coming from eclasses
and the ebuild itself, while exceptions usually mean malformed ebuilds
or metadata.xml.

Please note that due to technical limitations of pkgcore, the processing
stops on the first error found. Once solved, please wait ~30 minutes for
the report to refresh in case new errors may appear.

Please fix the issue ASAP, possibly via removing unmaintained, old
ebuilds. We reserve the right to remove the repository from our list if
we do not receive any reply within 4 weeks.

I'm not sure, what exactly is the problem. Is it the additional license?
Comment 2 Arfrever Frehtes Taifersar Arahesis 2018-04-13 00:17:21 UTC
This profiles/license_groups does not specify which license group contains "NDI_EULA_END" license.
This license most likely should belong to EULA group, so the line in this file should be:
EULA NDI_EULA_END
Comment 3 Paul Michel 2018-04-13 23:08:45 UTC
Ok, it's fixed now and is shown green in the repos list. Will this bug be closed automatically or should I do this?
Comment 4 Michał Górny archtester Gentoo Infrastructure gentoo-dev Security 2018-04-14 06:33:42 UTC
The bug seems to be fixed in the repository. Closing.
