Right, repoman parses the files in the CVS directories to figure that out. > Would it be possible to add repoman checks (possibly behind a special > flag) that could use "cvs diff" results? Sure, we can add an --allow-network option. That would also be useful for checking SRC_URI in this bug: https://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=315243 We could also add fine-grained options if you want to enable/disable specific checks that use the network and not others. -- Thanks, Zac
