Such as warning/failing on: |
| 38 |
* the server's repository path is "/space/cvsroot" |
| 39 |
* any extensions to metadata.xml |
| 40 |
* larger-than-20k-files |
| 41 |
* not being copyrighted to Gentoo Foundation |
| 42 |
* not being distributed under GPLv2 |
| 43 |
|
| 44 |
There's probably others but all of those things are Gentoo specific and cause |
| 45 |
no less trouble than what a virtual/x11 check might cause. |

Refactor/rewrite/modularize/blah repoman. In the mean time, make do with what |
| 50 |
we have and let Gentoo derivatives do the same. |
