Hi, |

If you just want to make cvs.eclass-based things to work offline, you can |
| 4 |
export ECVS_SERVER=offline and they will use the already-checked-out sources |
| 5 |
without attempting to update them. This cannot be automatized further because |
| 6 |
unlike other ebuilds which have digests etc, for live cvs ebuilds there can |
| 7 |
be no 'already fetched' condition. |
| 8 |
|
| 9 |
That leaves the issue of having them update the sources, but not compile them, |
| 10 |
when you emerge -f. For this we indeed need portage-side support, but not too |
| 11 |
much. Say, allowing ebuilds to redefine src_fetch (as it did once, I don't |
| 12 |
think we can do that now) and, for cvs ebuilds, always calling src_fetch |
| 13 |
regardless of the digest and SRC_URI. |
| 14 |
|
| 15 |
This is all a todo for me - for the medium future :-) |
