Subject: [gentoo-dev] repoman - I cannot handle it...

1 Hello fellow developers,
2
3 I have a problem with repoman. I keep breaking the dependency tree. Jabub
4 knows what I'm talking about. Latest examples are bugs #196470, #196472 and
5 #196474. On a side note I actually don't want to break the dependency tree...
6
7 Attached are the scripts I use to commit packages stable/unstable. Somewhere
8 must be a bug!
9
10 'name_split.cpp' splits a package name like sys-devel/gcc-4.1.2 into category,
11 package name and version number. It's done in c++ as that's the only language
12 I do more with than 'hello world' programms. Not much more, just more. ;-)
13
14 'mp.sh' is the script which calls name_split, repoman etc. It's pretty
15 straight forward and only does the things I would also do by hand.
16
17 So if I want to mark for example sys-devel/gcc-4.1.2 stable on ppc64 I call
18 mp.sh like this: mp.sh ppc64 sys-devel/gcc-4.1.2 "Stable on ppc64"
19
20 If someone has a hint where the problem is, I would really appreciate that.
21
22 Best regards,

26 P.S.: yes, I do 'cvs up' on the whole tree, before starting a commit.
