[gentoo-dev] First version of the ebuildchecker.py

[Karl Trygve Kalleberg]

Hi gang.

I pooh-pooh'ed my leg the other day, but luckily woodchip was there with
his Everlasting Package of Kleenex. (Thanks).

That got me hacking, and now I have the first hacked version of an
ebuildchecker that tests for some of the most common booboos we tend to
do.

It is by no means complete. If this version of the ebuildchecker says that
everything is okay, it probably isn't.

Sample:
cd /usr/portage
ebuildchecker.py */*/*.ebuild

This one will test (nearly) all the ebuilds marking them as "OK" or "Not
OK", then generate a summary of the tests performed.

There are options for showing details on each ebuild.

If this turns out to be a good idea, I encourage you either to add more
tests (send patches) or suggest more tests (send concise descriptions,
preferrably with pseudocode if the idea is involved).


Kind regards,

Karl T
