We've discussed using cvs/cvsup/rsync/whatever as SRC_URI and for now it's far away down on the todo list. The reason: cvs-based builds do not have distinct versions (not ones that change with every cvs revision), they have timestamps and individual file revisions instead. So we can't compare them with std. non-cvs releases and see which one is newer. If you must use cvs, try to get a URL for a specific snapshot of a specific date. If you can't, write a script to make cvs download a *specific* revision and tar it to keep in distfiles. Doing the same wih the latest cvs revision is more or less deprecated. -- Dan Armak Gentoo Linux Developer Matan, Israel
