#37: Called with the current ET thornlist, warning messages are displayed ----------------------------+----------------------------------------------- Reporter: knarf | Owner: eric9 Type: defect | Status: new Priority: major | Milestone: Component: GetComponents | Version: Resolution: | Keywords: ----------------------------+-----------------------------------------------
Comment (by eschnett):
This is caused by the last block in the thorn list, which gives an example for listing purely local thorns that are not in any repository. These lines are
# Private thorns !TARGET = $ARR !TYPE = ignore !CHECKOUT =
which do not list any thorns to check out. This empty list seems to cause this warning. Otherwise, the warning seems to be harmless.
Allowing empty checkout blocks is useful, e.g. as example (here), or to allow people to easily comment out all thorns from a repository.
