I'm told that some ebuilds that are not really "live" ebuilds still inherit the same eclasses that are used for "live" ebuilds. So, there is no direct correspondence between inheriting one of these eclasses and being a "live" ebuild. > Granted it's not clean, and yes, as a secondary check you may need to > check for SVN_REPO_URI or else. The SVN_REPO_URI variable wouldn't be very useful because it only applies to the svn eclass, and it's not among the special metadata variables that you'll find cached in /usr/portgage/metadata/cache. > This is also acting like people are > going to follow this convention, which even in a perfect world means > people will tend to forget this or not even know they're supposed to > put it. It's not that hard to do, and if it's initially overlooked by an ebuild maintainer than its not really a difficult thing to spot and fix. Much more elusive bugs do exist.
