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.''
