Our automated repository checks [1] have detected that the 'odroidc4' 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/odroidc4.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.

ping
pong I'm inundated with work, but my yearly four month sabbatical begins in three weeks, the plan is to go over the overlays and bring them up to speed then.

Btw, same goes for the "bitcetera" overlay. You've already removed that one, sure understand why. I'll ping you when they're in an acceptable state again.

I'll ping you when they're in an acceptable state again. Just open a PR against https://github.com/gentoo/api-gentoo-org/ to have bitcetera added back when it's ready.
Finally working on it. I've upped to EAPI 8 which shouldn't cause any trouble. I can't really test the two ebuilds for now because my ODROID C4 at home caved under the heatwave and I'm some 2000 miles away. I'll see whether the cache rebuild works again. Do you know how QA reports are triggered? On commits or time based?
All green again, sorry for the delay!
Cool, thanks for fixing!
The bug seems to be fixed in the repository. Closing.
