I don't know what kind of side-effects set -e would introduce, but we can easily add a repoman check for epatch calls without eutils inherit. Portage already does a search of the build log for 'command not found' messages and generates a QA warnings. Set PORTAGE_ELOG_CLASSES="${PORTAGE_ELOG_CLASSES} qa" in /etc/make.conf if you want to have those warnings logged. -- Thanks, Zac
