The portage version I just checked in (2.1.20.5016) contains SVN support for the portage tree. `emerge --sync` can just invoke svn, based on a similar functionality available for cvs. For this to work (because it's cooler and fancier than just typing `svn update` yourself, isn't it?) you need to change your SYNC variable in $EPREFIX/etc/make.conf to this:
SYNC="svn+http://overlays.gentoo.org/svn/proj/alt/trunk/prefix-overlay"; This is not mandatory or something, but maybe you just like it. -- Fabian Groffen Gentoo on a different level -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list
