REPOMAN¶
NAME¶
repoman - Gentoo's program to enforce a minimal level of quality assurance in packages added to the portage treeSYNOPSIS¶
repoman [option] [mode]
DESCRIPTION¶
Quality is job zero.
repoman checks the quality of ebuild repositories.
Note: repoman commit only works inside local cvs, git, or subversion repositories.
OPTIONS¶
-a, --ask
Request a confirmation before commiting
--force
Force commit to proceed, regardless of QA issues. For convenience, this option causes the most time consuming QA checks to be skipped. The commit message will include an indication that this option has been enabled, together with the usual portage version stamp.
When used together with manifest mode, --force causes existing digests to be replaced for any files that exist in ${DISTDIR}. Existing digests are assumed to be correct for files that would otherwise have to be downloaded in order to recompute digests. WARNING: When replacing existing digests, it is the user's responsibility to ensure that files contained in ${DISTDIR} have the correct identities. Especially beware of partially downloaded files.
-q, --quiet
Be less verbose about extraneous info
-p, --pretend
Don't commit or fix anything; just show what would be done
-x, --xmlparse
Forces the metadata.xml parse check to be carried out
-v, --verbose
Displays every package name while checking
--echangelog=<y|n|force>
For commit mode, call echangelog if ChangeLog is unmodified (or regardless of modification if 'force' is specified). This option can be enabled by default for a particular repository by setting "update-changelog = true" in metadata/layout.conf (see portage(5)).
--if-modified=<y|n>
Only check packages that have uncommitted modifications
-i, --ignore-arches
Ignore arch-specific failures (where arch != host)
--ignore-default-opts
Do not use the REPOMAN_DEFAULT_OPTS environment variable.
-I, --ignore-masked
Ignore masked packages (not allowed with commit mode)
-d, --include-dev
Include dev profiles in dependency checks.
--unmatched-removal
Enable strict checking of package.mask and package.unmask files for unmatched removal atoms.
--without-mask
Behave as if no package.mask entries exist (not allowed with commit mode)
-m, --commitmsg
Adds a commit message via the command line
-M, --commitmsgfile
Adds a commit message from the specified file
-V, --version
Show version info
-h, --help
Show this screen
MODES¶

help
Show this screen
scan
Scan directory tree for QA issues (short listing)
