I don't know what is the problem in your system. On my system: Without FEATURES="buildkpg" cd /usr/portage/packages/ ls -lR softwarealchemy packages # ls -lR .: total 20 drwx------ 2 root root 4096 2008-10-30 10:22 All drwx------ 2 root root 4096 2008-10-30 10:13 dev-lang drwx------ 2 root root 4096 2008-10-22 17:14 games-simulation drwx------ 2 root root 4096 2008-10-30 10:13 www-servers ./All: total 11164 -rw------- 1 root root 6 2008-10-30 10:22 cvs-1.12.12-r4.tbz2 -rw------- 1 root root 3501052 2008-10-22 17:14 openttd-0.6.3-r2.tbz2 -rw------- 1 root root 6247886 2008-10-30 10:13 php-5.2.6-r7.tbz2 ./dev-lang: total 0 lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 24 2008-10-30 10:13 php-5.2.6-r7.tbz2 -> ../All/php-5.2.6-r7.tbz2 ./games-simulation: total 0 lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 28 2008-10-22 17:14 openttd-0.6.3-r2.tbz2 -> ../All/openttd-0.6.3-r2.tbz2 ./www-servers: total 0 lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 27 2008-10-30 10:13 apache-2.2.9-r1.tbz2 -> ../All/apache-2.2.9-r1.tbz2 I switched FEATURES="buildpkg" and emerge cvs and the result: softwarealchemy packages # ls -lR .: total 20 drwx------ 2 root root 4096 2008-10-30 10:22 All drwx------ 2 root root 4096 2008-10-30 10:13 dev-lang drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4096 2008-10-30 10:22 dev-util drwx------ 2 root root 4096 2008-10-22 17:14 games-simulation drwx------ 2 root root 4096 2008-10-30 10:13 www-servers ./All: total 11164 -rw------- 1 root root 6 2008-10-30 10:22 cvs-1.12.12-r4.tbz2 -rw------- 1 root root 3501052 2008-10-22 17:14 openttd-0.6.3-r2.tbz2 -rw------- 1 root root 6247886 2008-10-30 10:13 php-5.2.6-r7.tbz2 ./dev-lang: total 0 lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 24 2008-10-30 10:13 php-5.2.6-r7.tbz2 -> ../All/php-5.2.6-r7.tbz2 ./dev-util: total 0 lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 26 2008-10-30 10:22 cvs-1.12.12-r4.tbz2 -> ../All/cvs-1.12.12-r4.tbz2 ./games-simulation: total 0 lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 28 2008-10-22 17:14 openttd-0.6.3-r2.tbz2 -> ../All/openttd-0.6.3-r2.tbz2 ./www-servers: total 0 lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 27 2008-10-30 10:13 apache-2.2.9-r1.tbz2 -> ../All/apache-2.2.9-r1.tbz2 You can see the cvs is installed and the tarball is placed in /usr/portage/packages/All. In the /usr/portage/packages/dev-util/ directory has a symlink to /usr/portage/packages/All/cvs-1.12.12-r4.tbz2 file. I think it is workign fine. Or we are both in big trouble :-D Sorry my english.
