What version of sys-devel/gettext do you have installed?
ah; never mind, I misunderstood the error. base-system - looks like autopoint (and hence gettext) should RDEPEND on cvs. Re-assign back if you think it's something I should deal with rather than the gettext ebuild.
[ebuild R ] sys-devel/gettext-0.15 USE="nls -doc -emacs -nocxx" 0 kB
base-system - seems autopoint is using cvs to extract stuff from the archive it stores in /usr/share/gettext/archive.tar.gz. They use cvs to have a compact copy of all versions of the various files going back to gettext-0.10.35. This archive is almost 288k. I found if you unpack all versions into a bunch of subdirectories and tar them up in one big tar, with gzip the result is 1.2M but with bzip2 the result is 629k - so they're not actually gaining a huge amount by using cvs (and creating that dependency) instead of bzip2. Ho hum.
since the autopoint gets a 1 line fix to po/Makefile.in.in, ive just made a patch to do it for us i think it'd be pretty hard convincing upstream gettext to change their cvs reliance after reading the autopoint script: # We distribute the many different versions of the files in a CVS repository. # This guarantees a good compression rate: # ... # The requirement that the user must have the CVS program available is not # a severe restrictions, because most of the people who use autopoint are # users of CVS.
