Created attachment 312287 [details, diff] Patch for subversion.eclass to make file:// ESVN_REPO_URIs work As I have local mirrors of some svn repos, I prefer to use those rather than waste bandwidth on a remote checkout/update when emerging live ebuilds. Overriding ESVN_REPO_URI in /etc/portage/env is easy enough, but the eclass needs a tiny patch to make it work. As it is so trivial, I’ve inlined it below: --- a/subversion.eclass 2012-05-17 16:26:15.537134530 -0400 +++ b/subversion.eclass 2012-05-17 16:25:54.882355963 -0400 @@ -215,7 +215,7 @@ die "${ESVN}: reinstall Subversion with support for WebDAV." fi ;; - svn|svn+ssh) + file|svn|svn+ssh) ;; *) die "${ESVN}: fetch from '${protocol}' is not yet implemented." It also it attached should that be more convienient.
Fixed in CVS.
