Our automated repository checks [1] have detected that the 'salfter' 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/salfter.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.

This morning was the first I'd heard of any issues...don't know how that happened, and the error log mentioned in the first message is no longer accessible. With a little bit of poking around, though, it appears that the errors may have had to do with some ebuilds still using EAPI 4 or 5. I found them all, deleted most as I no longer needed them, and the relative handful that I wanted to keep have been updated to EAPI 8. The most recent commit (e5cc352b) fixed the last of the old ebuilds to bring it up to EAPI 8. How do I get my overlay reinstated?

I think the simplest thing is just to open a PR against [1] that effectively reverts [2]. [1]: https://github.com/gentoo/api-gentoo-org [2]: https://github.com/gentoo/api-gentoo-org/pull/507

Reopening. The QA reports mention EAPI 0, 2 and 4, also some PYTHON_COMPAT: https://qa-reports.gentoo.org/output/repos/salfter.html
The remaining issues should be fixed as of the most recent commit: https://gitlab.com/salfter/portage/-/commit/4f24250466db32a2a388d663bc03dc3cb0477b06
The bug seems to be fixed in the repository. Closing.
Thanks!
