I personally don't care if the user gets added or not, as I dont pserver
anymore, however I would like to see it changed anyhow. My gripe is that if it
is a system user (cvs, ssh, etc) that it be kept under id 1000 or over 65000 so
it doesnt pop up in the kde, gnome and what other display manager menus.
yes I realize it can be hidden and what not but I believe the current
implementation to be intrusive. Thanks.

sure it's a bug.
But we don't want fixed uids/gids in our ebuilds so this isn't directly a cvs issue but rather an eutils.eclass issue, there is an effort to clear the situation  up and people involved know about this for some time now, I am waiting for the solution to this problem just like you do :)

ok, it seems like it will take some more time since the issue is resolved
eclass-wise, so I am going to add an uid/gid entry for the cvs user/pass in our
eid_database...

uid and gid will be 350 if there are no objections.

should be fixed with cvs-1.11.13, please give it a go :)
