15 OK, I did some things to the CVS repository and now all ebuilds should *not*
16 be executable. I didn't want to do it to all files because I'm sure we have
17 some executable scripts lying around somewhere and I don't want to mess them
18 up. This problem may have been caused by a permissions mishap caused my me
19 a couple of months ago.
