ruby-cvs, as you can see by trying to use it is dead. The mirror was taken down in favor or SVN. I've made a rudimentary SVN ebuild. Also, ruby-svn works on my ~amd64 box. Problems: the 'threads' IUSE _must_ be enabled or it won't build. You need a previous version of Ruby installed because it tries to execute a ruby before it is done compiling/installed. (Feel free to update the ebuild and force these).

Created attachment 115765 [details] ruby-svn-1.9.0.ebuild Needs work -- see "Problems" in original.
I have put dev-lang/ruby-cvs in package.mask: it doesn't make sense to keep it around if it's broken.
dev-ruby/ruby-cvs is no longer in the tree. I also don't expect that we will add a ruby-svn ebuild any time soon, especially since there are now regular ruby 1.9.x releases that we currently track in the ruby overlay. I'm closing this bug as WONTFIX for this reason. Perhaps we will add something like this in the future when we get a lot more manpower in the ruby herd.
