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

> pings have have gone unanswered. Well, I guess that's because of pings to no longer active @gentoo.org email address for Mike. Maybe ping him via his personal email address listed in https://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=ikelos#c0 ?
Thanks, as I just commented in my retirement bug I'm happy to have my repo delisted. I haven't noticed any issues in my github repo and now can't see the CI issue since the repository's been removed but I haven't seen portage raise any as an issue on my local machine? Happy to try and fix them if anyone remembers what issues they were though, and yep, I haven't been checking my gentoo email since I retired, thanks for the ping @ahipp0!
@Andrey Thanks for following up on this, I was not aware that Mike wasn't receiving pings. @Mike We could just re-add the overlay and the QA report should spin up again. I went digging in the logs and found this: * net-analyzer/inetsim-1.2.5: failed sourcing ebuild: user: EAPI 5 not supported, (user.eclass, line 26: called die) which appears to have been the only issue afaict.
Thanks, I've since resolved this (and bumped inetsim) although it's not well maintained since the work I do has changed and I don't have much need for it these days. If you think adding the overlay back in will be useful for people then I'm ok with that as long as I get emails about issues, but equally I don't mind if it's not listed. I'm much less experimental with ebuilds these days, so it's usually just for bumps when I'm impatient (which I don't commit to it). Let me know what you'd like to do, but either way this bug can hopefully be marked as resolved... 5:)
(In reply to Mike Auty from comment #8) > If you think adding the overlay back in will be useful for people ... Just as a data point, I do use it (and that's why I noticed when it got removed), but I currently use it for a single package only. Also, adding a custom repository is now much easier with eselect-repository than it used to be with layman: eselect repository add ikelos git https://github.com/ikelos/gentoo-overlay.git eselect repository enable ikelos

Sorry about that, currently I don't have a good insight into what overlays are being used, just the QA reports to go off of. > Also, adding a custom repository is now much easier with eselect-repository > than it used to be with layman: > eselect repository add ikelos git > https://github.com/ikelos/gentoo-overlay.git > eselect repository enable ikelos If that works for you, I suggest we just leave it at that? If others want the overlay back, I'm sure it's gonna find its way back to repositories.xml :-) then I'll try to remember to ping Mike on any QA reports.
