I'm about to run an update world following a sync and I noitce that cvs is one of the packages involved. I couldn't remember how to make emerge use a specific ./configure flag. Not sure I ever really understood that whole business anyway, although Holly and others have attempted to explain it to me.
I wanted to use `./configure --enable-rootcommit' (or similar) since this is a single user machine. It didn't seem worth learning to build my own ebuild so I built it from tar.gz and installed on /usr/local. Then unmerged the existing cvs installation. Now as I recall there is some syntax that needs to go into one of the possible files under /etc/portage to cause future emerges like the upcoming update to ignore cvs, but I've forgotten it. -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
