Just make you aware, not everyone follows portage development and its |
| 2 |
bound to bite some people in the ass (although I expect the users will |
| 3 |
notice the most). |

Recently commited to svn (but afaik released only in ~arch) is code to |
| 6 |
prevent the sourcing of ebuilds with no manifest. Thus ebuilds you |
| 7 |
randomly download off of bugzilla need to get a lookover from you and |
| 8 |
then ebuild foo.ebuild digest'd. |
| 9 |
|
| 10 |
This is to prevent people from sticking a random unchecksum'd ebuild in |
| 11 |
your tree and then having portage source it for depend() metadata and |
| 12 |
then getting bitten by some global scope nasties. |
| 13 |
|
| 14 |
This 'feature' is currently controlled via strict, so those that hate |
| 15 |
hate hate it can turn it off via FEATURES="-strict" |
| 16 |
|
| 17 |
It's implemented in doebuild, so any ops that aren't |
| 18 |
'digest/manifest/help' aren't allowed on manifest-less ebuilds. This |
| 19 |
includes the 'ebuild' utility. |
| 20 |
|
| 21 |
Having FEATURES="digest" should also disable this check. |
| 22 |
|
| 23 |
I figured people would start asking about the failures, so better to |
| 24 |
explain now ;) |
