Two remarks: 1. There is also the possibility to install autopoint support with neither git nor cvs: The 3MB archive can be installed directly. So perhaps this should be better something like IUSE="autopoint cvs +git" RDEPEND="autopoint? ( git? ( dev-vcs/git ) !git? ( cvs? ( dev-vcs/cvs ) ) )" 2. Since >=gettext-0.18.1, cvs is no longer support (but the options git or 3 MB archive still are). Regards Martin Väth
