Well I think we do need such ebuilds _but_ they gotta be named |
| 13 |
accordingly. You have to see that it is a cvs ebuild. I for one use |
| 14 |
mplayer as my multimedia player of choice but I won't use the ebuild |
| 15 |
because mplayer releases don't come too often. For a very long time |
| 16 |
there was just the 0.60 release of mplayer which sucked, while cvs |
| 17 |
always builds (just personal exp tho) and has tons of features. I have |
| 18 |
not bothered to look at the cvs eclass and build my mplayer myself but |
| 19 |
mplayer is such an example where a cvs ebuild would be great. Another |
| 20 |
example is is kde. Why not use the convenience of portage to test the |
| 21 |
latest kde. |
