I hack on the source in my home directory. I take automatic backups of my home directory. I don't really want to hack in /usr/portage/distfiles/ or take backups of that. I might not want portage to do a "cvs update" of the sources when I ask it to merge the ebuild - I might be deliberately lagging a few revisions behind. > Most cvs ebuilds I've seen are nearly identical to a non-cvs ebuild.

I would find this useful, but perhaps the things I'm thinking of are just suited to my style of working rather than a general development scenario. Daniel -- gentoo-dev@gentoo.org mailing list
