Hi all, Finally responding to all the requests, I've hacked up an initial alternative to repoman's commit functionality in the form of pkgdev [1] that uses pkgcheck's API behind the scenes. The project is meant to grow into a collection of tools for Gentoo development and maintenance, but initially supports `pkgdev commit` and `pkgdev push` that should work for a basic git workflow on ebuild repos.
In essence, `pkgdev commit` wraps `git add` and `git commit` functionality along with supporting GLEP 66 style message prefixes for any committed files across an ebuild repo. Package manifests are also regenerated and added automatically for any targeted pkg commits. QA scanning is done on `pkgdev push` (not per `pkgdev commit` call) so knowing/learning how to interactively `git rebase` is currently essential to the workflow. Probably the main thing lacking is good docs for the workflow that pkgdev envisions as it differs slightly from the one used with repoman. Feel free to respond with questions, ideas, or flames. If you want to give it a shot, I believe a live ebuild for it has already been added to the tree at dev-util/pkgdev. Also, please open issues on the upstream project if you run into bugs or have feature requests. Thanks, Tim [1]: https://github.com/pkgcore/pkgdev
