You could write an ebuild and place it under /usr/local/portage someplace. Grabbing code from a CVS server from within an ebuild could be tricky, though...either you'd want to grab a tarball with the newest code if it's available, or you could sync with the server manually, create a tarball, and dump it in /usr/portage/distfiles. That would keep Portage aware that you have a CVS version of some package on your system, at least. _/_ / v \ Scott Alfter (remove the obvious to send mail) (IIGS( http://alfter.us/ Top-posting! \_^_/ rm -rf /bin/laden >What's the most annoying thing on Usenet?
