CVS sources policy:
"Live" cvs.eclass ebuilds are generally only intended for the convenience of
developers and should always be masked with a ~[arch] keyword. It is impossible
to guarantee the reliability of a "live" cvs.eclass ebuild since the upstream
cvs tree may change at any time, which is why they should always be masked.

------- Comment #1 From Fabian Groffen 2006-06-04 10:54:36 0000 ------- 
renaissance-0.8.1_pre20060324.ebuild converted to non-svn ebuild.  Sorry for
the policy break!

------- Comment #2 From Mr. Bones. 2006-06-04 13:47:09 0000 ------- 
avp-cvs is a snapshot, dosbox-cvs is on purpose.  removing games from cc.

------- Comment #3 From Alec Warner 2006-06-04 20:06:45 0000 -------

So why does avp-cvs inherit cvs eclass?  According to the changelog it hasn't
used livecvs since 2003.

Dosbox-cvs is on purpose -> Why break policy here?

------- Comment #4 From Mr. Bones. 2006-06-04 20:11:54 0000 ------- 
please stop adding games to the cc line.

avp-cvs inherits cvs to make it easy to pull from live cvs if we want to.
dosbox-cvs is frequently more featureful and stable then the release version.

They're both on purpose and the way the games team would like them to be. 
Thanks.

------- Comment #5 From Chris Gianelloni (RETIRED) 2006-06-05 18:43:56 0000 ------- 
Err... I'll do avp-cvs anyway.  Upstream has moved it from CVS to SVN, and
upstream is somewhat dead.  I think the only patches that have been applied
since 2003 have come from us.

------- Comment #6 From Chris Gianelloni (RETIRED) 2006-06-06 07:22:29 0000 ------- 
I moved avp-cvs to avp and commented the inherit line.  I'm going to be
creating an avp-9999.ebuild that pulls from subversion and is -* to match up
with what we've kinda been doing wrt live cvs/svn ebuilds now.  This way the
stable ebuild will *always* be a snapshot.  I'm also looking into getting
access with upstream svn for this package, since the original porter quit
working on it quite some time ago and the only patches that have been going in
have been coming from Gentoo anyway.

------- Comment #7 From Tom Payne (RETIRED) 2006-06-06 10:25:49 0000 ------- 
libtu-svn removed (long dead ebuild; upstream changed to darcs).

------- Comment #8 From Jakub Moc (RETIRED) 2006-12-19 08:43:36 0000 ------- 
dev-games/cel-cvs 
dev-games/crystalspace-cvs

They've both switched to SVN, what's the point of these ebuilds? CCing games,
the maintainer has been MIA for quite some time...

------- Comment #9 From Jakub Moc (RETIRED) 2007-01-21 20:31:23 0000 ------- 
Games, someone cares to fix/remove the two useless ebuilds mentioned above?

------- Comment #10 From Chris Gianelloni (RETIRED) 2007-02-06 21:41:55 0000 ------- 
games done

------- Comment #11 From Jakub Moc (RETIRED) 2007-02-08 10:58:05 0000 ------- 
Thanks, closing.
