Maybe that's just me, but I don't like things that sometimes work and sometimes not. Having some emerge invocations fail with "broken config" and some not, seems rather ugly to me. (This also implies that syncing a repo with working config is not possible as long as there are repos with broken config.) > Third: > - I would like to add a new config item for all repos. > It is a variable to define which sources of sync operations which > the repo will be allowed to be synced from.
