[mythtv-users] gentoo cvs ebuilds

[Joel Feenstra]

The reason the cvs ebuilds were removed was so that people would be able 
to compile with debugging if needed.  If people really need a fix, then 
they should know that cvs is a development version. There is more 
expected of a user that runs cvs. Good bug reports with backtraces and 
such. If a cvs ebuild was available there would inevitably be people who 
don't know how to do that, and therefore not able to provide any info on 
the bugs. If you want cvs it's not really very hard to get without using 
portage. Instruction on downloading the source from cvs are in the docs 
on the website.
