I already recommended, time ago, in gentoo-dev mailing list to check with repoman before file stable request. Why?
The reason is very simply; is only a waste of time try to keyword and receive a bad response from repoman because missing some other packages with stable keyword.
So, as reminder, you need to do:
STABLE_KEYWORDS="amd64 ppc x86"
ekeyword ${STABLE_KEYWORDS} ${your_ebuild}
repoman full
You need to have REPOMAN_DEFAULT_OPTS=”–digest y” in your make.conf or you need to run repoman manifest before repoman full.
This sample of code can be automated with a little script.
If anything goes bad, you will see the list of package needed for this stabilization.
NOTE: be careful with ekeyword because will happen bug 399061.
Actually, instead of ‘repoman commit -p -m “….”‘, you can use “repoman full”
you right!
Also, you can use directly repoman full, and delete repoman manifest if you are using this option: REPOMAN_DEFAULT_OPTS=”–digest y”
