I would like to second that. Even as a developer I like to do two passes -
first is done with lintool, while I tweak an ebuild in my "live" tree (and I
do have them separate, - gives me quite a bit of flexibility in tweaking
without a risk of inadvertedly committing some local changes to the global
tree) and then using repoman to finalize all "distributed" stuff, like
digests, etc. in the cvs tree. Nothing beats lintool (so far and if you know
your way around it) for the first checks that involve the ebuild itself..
