what can i say, it adds user in build time, thus creating user only in build host. version used: cvs-1.11.11 and if somebody gonna fix this, maybe look also bug 36416 Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.get binary package 2.install it Actual Results: in my system /var/cvsroot being owned by dhcp user....

enewuser/enewgroup should not be used inside of src_install() ... it should be used inside of pkg_setup() or pkg_preinst() or pkg_postinst() or pkg_config() i'll update the manpages to reflect this
Since the cvs user/group is not required for building/installing cvs but only for running the pserver I think pkg_postinst() would be the correct place to add the user/group. If there are no objections I am going to change that in the cvs ebuild later today. Anyway, our two "core" problems still exist (http://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=36215#c3)
ok, after thinking about it I suppose it would be better to move it to pkg_config() and use a little pkg_postinst() to tell the user that this will generate the cvs user/group for use with a cvspserver. We probably could also move the xinet.d file to pkg_config() so that people who just use cvs client-side aren't bothered with anything pserver related and those who want to run a pserver just need to use the ebuild ... config to get the xinet.d file and the cvs user/group.
just as a heads up, I will be committing cvs-1.11.12 within the next days which fixes that bug [moved it to pkg_setup()]. I also hope there's a solution for bug 36416 in the meantime.
should be fixed with cvs-1.11.13, please give it a go :)
