Learning a bit about portage and making ebuilds took me about half a day; but after that I could crank out the ebuilds for each subpart in about 3 minutes each. If you're interested, I could send some instructions. Keep in mind that I'm still a "gentoo developer-wannabe" (aka very new to making ebuilds), so this is basically the minimum required to work; not really the best it can be.

If you manually compiled a CVS version of any software package, portage would not know that you had it installed. Trying to emerge a different version of mythtv from the portage tree, for example, would stomp all over your CVS installation.
You'd just have to do a "note to self" type of thing that you had CVS mythtv installed and not to try to emerge it.

Subject: [mythtv-users] Gentoo and CVS
Hi,
a couple of days ago, I asked about which Fedora Core version to use with MythTV and DVB and promptly received an answer. Thanks for that.
After doing some more research I now lean towards using Gentoo instead:
http://tinyurl.com/4lxdb makes it sound a bit easier to look out for all the dependencies than doing everything by hand and the install guide for Gentoo - while a bit intimidating - looks like the right mix of geekiness and ease-of-use for me. :-)
I'm wondering, however, how well Gentoo plays with CVS versions: If I decide later on to grab a CVS version of MyhTV, would I be able to go back to using one from the portage tree if I wanted to, or would that be as difficult as trying to mix installs from most of the binary package managers with manual compiles?
Thanks any insight.
Jens
