Hiya, I'm trying to update/package up mypy for the main tree which, whilst it provides a release tarball, relies upon a data library (typeshed) which does not provide releases. The recommended method of installation by upstream is to use git submodules (which the ebuild will do happily), but repoman rightly complains about LIVEVCS issues.
Is the current recommended method for dealing with this to manually create a tarball and stash it on dev.gentoo.org somewhere accessible or are there updated guidelines for this kind of scenario? If so, where would they be documented? Searching for LIVECVS found a bunch of repoman change discussions, but no documentation as to how to deal with ebuilds that require this... Mike 5:)
