pkgcheck action

This action runs pkgcheck over an ebuild repository.

Inputs

args (optional) -- custom arguments for pkgcheck

Custom arguments can be any arguments used with pkgcheck scan when running pkgcheck directly on the command line. For example, to ignore RedundantVersion results use the following setting:

uses: pkgcore/pkgcheck-action@v1
with:
  args: --keywords=-RedundantVersion

pkgs (optional) -- target package to install

By default, the latest pkgcheck release is installed. This option allows installing a custom set of packages. Multiple packages can be specified as a space-separated list if required.

Use of this option targets those who want to pin to a specific release for whatever reason (e.g. bugs in newer versions) via:

uses: pkgcore/pkgcheck-action@v1
with:
  pkgs: pkgcheck==0.9.2

or those that want to live on the edge running pkgcheck from git:

uses: pkgcore/pkgcheck-action@v1
with:
  pkgs: https://github.com/pkgcore/pkgcheck/archive/master.tar.gz

Action failures

Failures occur when error level results are found that match Gentoo CI settings. If any occur they will be displayed again separately from the main pkgcheck output in order to highlight the cause of the failure.
