Afternoon Gents,

Last night I was sitting on IRC and conversing with pekdon in #gentoo about e17 \
(Enlightenment DR 0.17) and the possibility of having compatable ebuilds that work \
for software in development using CVS.

We came to the conclusion that we could have a directory in Portage called cvs which \
is masked by default to prevent people not familiar with cvs software from accidently \
downloading it. We would also not provide support due to the nature of the software \
and we could enter disclaimers on the ebuild asking for y/n input.

Please let me know if this is do-able as I would really like to see this happen so we \
can still maintain a clean system with up to date software.

Regards,

Joshua
