Well, either fix repoman to not warn, or fix your workflow not to warn.
I don't find it worthwile doing whatever you're doing, so ... err ... right!

Fixing stuff (especially cosmetic issues) is faster than filing bugs and
then waiting between 10 minutes and 10 days for a response. I need to
cvs up and repoman full anyway, maybe check the Changelog to figure out
if it's this package that changed or the breakage is because of another
package (or profiles) changing. So doing an edit and committing is not
really an unexpected step from there and saves all people involved lots
of time.

I already file enough bugs, no need to file more bugs to fix issues that
shouldn't even be there. And don't expect me to keep track of exceptions
... because then everyone is a special unique snowflake with a good
reason why breaking the rules is ok for this special case.

If you ever get bored feel free to work on reducing
http://packages.gentooexperimental.org/repoman-current-issues.txt
to an empty list, that'd be, like, greaaat.

And I'm just going to not consider why you're the only one who NEEDS to
be special and have repoman not apply ... because that way lies a
madness I'm not willing to tolerate.
(AutoRepoman has been running for 5 months now and so far there's only a
single complaint about me touching packages)

Have a divine day,

Patrick
