Mainly to build a version that allows root commits. Looking at the output I've forgotten what the minus and plus signs mean. I kind of understand the notations on `emacs-cvs' from building it repeatedly over the years. It will build with those items with plus signs but in this case I know what the items are. cvs-1.11.18 -doc -emacs = what does it mean exactly? Why would emacs be a factor in building cvs?

Hi, Think that /etc/portage/... thing serves to hold portage override settings. So if you wanna change some of the default portage/profile settings, which are in /usr/portage/..., this could be done throu use of /etc/portage/... settings. System-wide default settings are in: /etc/make.profile (customizable), throu change in profiles. Just like the dot.apprc files (in home dir). HTH.
