Several critical issues remain, including stale distfile manifests and patches that would fail or be applied twice to live ebuilds, so the change is not yet verifiable or buildable.

Copilot

🔵 Needs a closer look

An active nit remains because the Outscale enhancement lacks the required dated changelog entry and its checklist item is still unchecked.

7 open issues

_{Review effort: Lite}

Copilot

🟡 Changes recommended

An active moderate issue prevents approval because the Outscale image is generated with the wrong extension for direct import, and the change also lacks a release-note entry for the new platform.

🔵 Needs a closer look

An active moderate issue remains because Outscale artifacts use a misleading .img.gz extension instead of the required .qcow2.gz format.

I think Copilot's suggestion to add IMG_outscale_DISK_EXTENSION=qcow2 is valid, but good other than that.
