I've filed a Council bug to approve the plan for deprecating repoman. See https://bugs.gentoo.org/835013
The proposed plan, as copied from the bug is: > The devmanual has already been updated to contain information about pkgdev, > in March 2021. See > https://gitweb.gentoo.org/proj/devmanual.git/log/?qt=grep&q=pkgdev > > I have opened a devmanual pull request to remove references to repoman that > might suggest that it is still an appropriate tool to use. See > https://github.com/gentoo/devmanual/pull/274 > > The next steps once the devmanual change is committed, I think, are > > - Give the wiki similar treatment as the devmanual, replacing and removing > references to repoman that would suggest it is an appropriate tool to use. > > - Modify repoman to emit a warning informing users of its deprecation > > - After some period of time, maybe 6 months, give last rites to repoman > > - Delete repoman from portage.git > > (and of course adding any features/behaviors we find lacking in pkgdev, et al)
