EXTRA_ECONF="--enable-rootcommit" emerge cvs |
| 14 |
|
| 15 |
usually works, although not all ebuilds respect $EXTRA_ECONF. |

The file you need is /etc/portage/profile/package.provided, it is |
| 25 |
documented in the portage manpage. |
| 26 |
|
| 27 |
echo "dev-util/cvs-x.y.z" >>/etc/portage/profile/package.provided |
| 28 |
|
| 29 |
should do it, where x.y.z is the version you have installed. |
