ebuild-writing/misc-files/metadata: repoman does not depend on libxml2 anymore When repoman was a part of sys-apps/portage, it didn't pull in libxml2 in the ebuild. The developers needed to make sure that libxml2 is installed on the system to perform metadata checks. Now that it's split into app-portage/repoman, it pulls in dev-python/lxml properly and this statement is no longer valid. ebuild-writing/misc-files/metadata/text.xml | 5 ++--- 1 file changed, 2 insertions(+), 3 deletions(-) diff --git a/ebuild-writing/misc-files/metadata/text.xml b/ebuild-writing/misc-files/metadata/text.xml index ad429a5..44a8554 100644 --- a/ebuild-writing/misc-files/metadata/text.xml +++ b/ebuild-writing/misc-files/metadata/text.xml @@ -360,9 +360,8 @@ using the <c>app-portage/metagen</c> tool. </p> <p> -Commits of package metadata files are handled by <c>repoman</c>.
