Description Michał Górny archtester Gentoo Infrastructure gentoo-dev Security 2021-02-24 21:27:41 UTC
Our automated repository checks [1] have detected that the
'maggu2810-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/maggu2810-overlay.html

In particular, please look for highlighted error messages.

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.

Please remove my / this repository from your overlays.
I am not using Gentoo anymore and so the repository will not be fixed.
