You are assuming that "what is in distfiles/cvs-src" == "what I last |
| 20 |
emerged" which with cvs ebuilds can be far from the truth. |
| 21 |
mozilla-1.5.tar.bz2 is (hopefully) always 1.5 - I can take any 1.5, |
| 22 |
build it, and get the same thing. "distfiles/cvs-src/mozilla" isn't. |
| 23 |
|
| 24 |
You're also wrong about how revdep-rebuild works - it doesn't attempt to |
| 25 |
build exactly the same thing you installed before, it merely attempts to |
| 26 |
rebuild any packages that seem to have broken .so's or binaries. I |
| 27 |
could have radically changed my use flags, and a revdep-rebuild will |
| 28 |
emerge the package with my new use flags, not the old ones. As it should. |

Blindly trusting that what is in cvs-src is 1.5 could lead to this exact |
| 44 |
effect. |

Anyway, let's get back to the original point for a second: |

Isn't that really your own fault? How is cvs.eclass supposed to know |
| 53 |
your connection is down as opposed to the CVS server's? If I emerge |
| 54 |
mozilla-cvs, but the mozilla CVS server was down and the latest sources |
| 55 |
I have are a year old, should it just continue away and build a year-old |
| 56 |
Mozilla? |
