Sure, don't use lintool *instead* of repoman (just trying to clarify so that |
| 9 |
nobody will take my words out of context (Stuart: not directed at you |
| 10 |
personally, as I am sure you understood what I meant ;))). However I still |
| 11 |
find lintool quite usefull for a basic ebuild composition checks, it seems to |
| 12 |
catch a bit more of those. |

I would say use both, with repoman taking precedence where they contradict |
| 15 |
(although I never saw this happen). I usually run ebuilds through lintool |
| 16 |
first (you *will* get few false errors/warnings, so you need to know the tool |
| 17 |
and the policy :)) and when everything ready run repoman on a dir.. |
| 18 |
Although clearly use of lintool *is not required* anymore.. |
