I thought about it some longer, and it's even nastier than just having to get the value in a different way, because you also have to keep the value in the file in your "local" version. This either means also storing the CVS directory (in SVN, funny :) ) or devoting the first line of every file for it... Side question: is it a problem that you cannot easily see which (CVS) version of an ebuild is in the rsync tree you/user have/has? I guess that's what the $Header: $ thing is actually for. I can't recall any occasion myself that I used it to track an issue with it though. -- Fabian Groffen Gentoo on a different level -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list
