Thanks for changing the ebuilds. They are my primary form on building E17, and I don't know enough about how to change them to be able to use the tarballs.

According to vapier the ebuilds for E17 that use the tarballs at freedesktop already exist. You simply have to use ~ARCH instead of -* in your keywords and the e-9999 ebuild will automatically use the tarballs instead of CVS.

Also, the tarball versions are not always up-to-date with freedesktop. If you are getting an older version just wait a day or two and vapier will version bump.

Apparently vapier has already submitted this info to the get-e.org site and is included in the user guide under "distro specific info".
