The implication I see in the documentation is that repoman is for Gentoo developers only[0], and implies you need CVS access to the Gentoo tree, while one shouldn't bother with lintool at all[1]. As a non-dev wanting to submit the occasional ebuild, I'd like a tool I can use to make sure I don't miss anything obvious that a CVS committer would see when he/she runs repoman against my ebuild. Hmmm, now I'm wondering what'd happen if I put my ebuilds in a local CVS repository; would repoman know it wasn't the "real" repository? If that's the case, the manpage should probably give a pointer about doing that, and not start off by scaring away non-devs. [0] repoman(1) says: repoman is meant for Gentoo developers only due to the fact it does not work on a per-ebuild basis. It checks the quality of CVS repositories. If you want some utility to check out the quality of ebuilds, emerge dev-util/lintool. [1] http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/gentoo-howto.xml repeatedly says ``Be warned - lintool is very broken. Use repoman instead.'' -- Anthony de Boer -- gentoo-dev@gentoo.org mailing list
