Yes, please this, and not just in devmanual, but also: |

All three of those mention repoman some or a lot, and pkgcheck/pkgdev |
| 19 |
little or none. |

I'm not a dev, just a forgetful proxy maintainer. When I went to learn |
| 22 |
the right workflow to submit better-quality PRs on GitHub instead of |
| 23 |
just attaching patches to b.g.o. bugs some years back, I looked at |
| 24 |
devmanual but the git workflow specific content seemed to be targeted |
| 25 |
only at people with access to git.gentoo.org, so I looked elsewhere. |
| 26 |
|
| 27 |
Those Wiki pages talked specifically about my use case. I think they |
| 28 |
only mentioned repoman back then. Even now they are 10x more specific |
| 29 |
and detailed about how to use repoman in your workflow, vs how to use |
| 30 |
pkgcheck. |
| 31 |
|
| 32 |
And indeed, the devmanual still doesn't line up 1:1 with the apparently |
| 33 |
soon-to-be-obsolete content in the wikis. For example, wikis say to use |
| 34 |
"repoman -dx full"; devmanual only talks about "repoman full" and |
| 35 |
replacing that with "pkgcheck scan --commits". What happened to |
| 36 |
--include-dev and --xmlparse? Are they not needed/implied in the |
| 37 |
pkgcheck case? (From its manpage, I think maybe the default behavior is |
| 38 |
equivalent to enabling both of those, but...?) |

This is why you can't trust ignorant fools like me to figure it out for |
| 41 |
ourselves :-P |

Thanks, |
