10 Two remarks:
11
12 1. There is also the possibility to install autopoint support
13 with neither git nor cvs: The 3MB archive can be installed
14 directly. So perhaps this should be better something like
15 IUSE="autopoint cvs +git"
16 RDEPEND="autopoint? (
17 git? ( dev-vcs/git )
18 !git? ( cvs? ( dev-vcs/cvs ) )
19 )"
20
21 2. Since >=gettext-0.18.1, cvs is no longer support
22 (but the options git or 3 MB archive still are).
