My personal belief is that ebuilds of hourly CVS snapshots should never leave the PORTDIR_OVERLAY of the original author. IMHO, Gentoo Portage is no place for autogenerated, untested CVS stuff. How are you going to go around non-compiling snapshots of broken trees and new compile options that appear from time to timw anyways ? |

Ebuilds should be writted for things that are "set in stone" and don't go around changing on an hourly basis. You really don't want to have 2 users run "emerge blah" and get different versions of the same program, even though "emerge -u rsync" was run at the same time. This would be a horrible mess (which is currently the case with QuakeForge ebuild). |
