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. -- gentoo-dev@gentoo.org mailing list
