Hello, Well, I need to use cvs on kde/gentoo to access several different active projects, in source form. In general if I go to the cvs form of a software package, that is installed on my gentoo system but missing the latest version or key patches, are there any caveats (gotchas)?
For example camE (version 1.7) is masked. The website has version 1.9 available for cvs download. Are there any dangers (to the gentoo installation) if I compile and install camE from cvs sources? 'emerge -s cvs' reveals lots of choices......here are a few I've gleaned: dev-util/cvs app-vim/cvsmenu www-apps/viewcvs dev-util/lincvs dev-util/gcvs dev-util/cvsweb Which are easy to use? Which have good documentation? Any favorites? Any other cvs packages worth trying? James -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
