pkgdev: error: '/etc/portage/make.profile' expands to '/etc/portage/server.make.profile', but no profile detected I have /etc/portage managed by git, and sync it across multiple machines. /etc/portage/make.profile is a symlink that is .gitignored, and either points to /etc/portage/desktop.make.profile or server.make.profile. Both versions have two files. - eapi - parent eapi is "7\n" parent is ``` gentoo:default/linux/amd64/17.1 gentoo:features/merged-usr gentoo:features/hardened/amd64 gentoo:targets/systemd gentoo:targets/desktop ``` This has worked for me for years and years, and worked with repoman. I'm trying to update an ebuild in my local overlay with the new pkgdev program, and cannot, because of this error from pkgdev. Since the error doesn't explain what, specifically, it's trying to do to detect a profile, I can't fix whatever it's mad about. I suspect that the error is invalid, as pkgdev should be perfectly happy with the symlink profile that my emerge has been happy with for years. But I'm open to fixing things if there's something to fix. Can pkgdev be improved in two ways? 1. Make the error message actually say what's wrong. "no profile detected" doesn't say what's wrong, just that it's mad about something. 2. Make pkgdev understand that /etc/portage/make.profile need not be a symlink into /var/db/repos/gentoo/profiles/ Reproducible: Always
Can you try this with current pkgcore-0.12.19 if it works for you? I've done some improvements around /etc/portage/make.profile, which could help your situation. If it does not, please attach an example of such configuration (files), as sadly I didn't manage to understand your setup.

Looks like the issue with the `gentoo:` syntax in the parent file. I suspect I need some more work on it in pkgcore. As a fast solution you can replace the path to profile with exact relative from the /etc profile to the one inside the repo. Not ideal, but I think it should work.
