This is a technical no-go (at least a hell) to realize. So, forget about a 
(realtime) synchronized cvs<->svn portage tree and alike.

the sooner the better ^o^

Well, a full battle won't go that easy, however:

We're already working on a subversion migration into 
official gentoo. So, please be patient.

We've been talking about this off-list for a long time 
now - not just talking but also doing test conversions, 
script fixing and alike. 
We also had a little meeting right yesterday about an 
open issues list I figured out.

So, sooner or shorter, we're announcing here some news on 
this subject (oops, did I already by this?, so, I can say,
we're offering already existing svn repositories to be 
merged into the gentoo svn repository, and we're offering 
already existing sub-projects' CVS directories to be converted 
on-demand. so, as soon as we're about to announce this service, 
just drop us a note.

ka0ttic, you maybe overran me with your mail :-)

So far,
Christian Parpart.
