A few day ago i thought about ebuilds without a version number.
The thing is to fetch all files via cvs and then do the things you do
with a normal ebuild.
After fetching the files all the content will be packed into a bz2
archive and saved in /usr/portage/distfiles/
i.e. if i emerge again the stored bz2archive will be extracted and
synced with cvs again.
So i can always can get the newest version without waiting for an ebuild.
Of course those packages are marked ~* anytime and nobody can promise,
the compiling won't fail.
Another feature could be to save the bz2 archive with the date of
fetching in its name.
Then i could use an old archive if there is i great bug in the newest files.
I want to read some opinions about this, it's just an idea.
