Description Torsten Veller (RETIRED) gentoo-dev

right now a -cvs ebuild (cvs.eclass) breaks if the computer is offline
and ECVS_SERVER!=offline.

Could you change this to something like:
If cvs-server is not available or you are not online, print a
warning/hint and try to build from an old checkout.

This was deemed unneeded in gentoo-dev (cvs ebuilds should be fixed to not override $ECVS_SERVER).
