hmm, actually emake itself has a || die statement, so this change shouldn't be necessary (but it's policy, so it should be changed).
Hm. I found that the behaviour was quite different after I put the '|| die' in. First it installed a few files. Afterwards I got an error statement. First this was ignored.

Submit a fixed ebuild on bugs.gentoo.org , maybe with a little explanation of the error. Such a trivial fix should be commited in less than 24 hours.
Ok, it is in there.

There are currently ~150-200 people with write access to cvs and that's already more than the cvs server can handle. For obvious reasons we can't give non-developers write access to the tree, after all we need some credibility and QA.
Ok, so I'll use my own local/portage. At the moment I have about 14 packages in there. Downloaded from bugs.gentoo.org, and selfmade.
On FreeBSD everything the FreeBSD ports went faster. Maybe this will be here too one day?
BTW. 150-200 People worldwide are not very much. And the cvs is overloaded?
Maybe we have to create some inofficial portage trees?
