How can I use pkgcheck with an overlay?

- how to generate the necessary configurations in the overlay profile to follow Gentoo QA
- the necessary parameters to run referenced to an overlay

Just run it from the overlay tree. It's the same as repoman.

I have already done it and it gives the following error with command pkgcheck scan --commits
pkgcheck scan: error: failed running git: fatal: ambiguous argument 'origin': unknown revision or path not in the working tree.

What does `git status` in the overlay print?

Code: Select all

# git status
On branch master
Your branch is up to date with 'origin/master'.

Untracked files:
  (use "git add <file>..." to include in what will be committed)
        app-emulation/snapd/
        dev-util/smem/
        eclass/git-2.eclass

nothing added to commit but untracked files present (use "git add" to track)

In another overlay the same result

Code: Select all

pkgcheck scan --commits
pkgcheck scan: error: failed running git: fatal: ambiguous argument 'origin': unknown revision or path not in the working tree.

Code: Select all

# git status
On branch master
Your branch is up to date with 'origin-https/master'.

nothing to commit, working tree clean

This overlay is at git+ssh://git@git.gentoo.org/repo/user/ssnb.git

The other overlay is local.

Everything looks ok in that output. The pkgcheck manpage says .git/refs/remotes/origin/HEAD should exist and to run `git fetch origin` if not, have you tried that?
