Looks like I had it backward.. from OP: > ECONF_EXTRA='--enable-rootcommit' At the `pkg' part of /etc/portage/env/cat/pkg Do I need to include the full address somehow like: dev-util/cvs or just `/etc/portage/env/cat/cvs' The reason I ask is that it is possible with cvs to get the root commit error for other (as yet not understood) reasons than actually being root and trying to commit. So it might not be so easy to test if the procedure has worked, unless there is a command for cvs that will make it cough up its compile time flags. So I want to know that part is good so I can worry about other problems with cvs in the event of problems following an update during update world. -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list
