I would like to second that. Even as a developer I like to do two passes - |
| 13 |
first is done with lintool, while I tweak an ebuild in my "live" tree (and I |
| 14 |
do have them separate, - gives me quite a bit of flexibility in tweaking |
| 15 |
without a risk of inadvertedly committing some local changes to the global |
| 16 |
tree) and then using repoman to finalize all "distributed" stuff, like |
| 17 |
digests, etc. in the cvs tree. Nothing beats lintool (so far and if you know |
| 18 |
your way around it) for the first checks that involve the ebuild itself.. |
