For CVMFS to actually work a cvmfs user needs to be created, e.g., something like this: useradd -r -s /bin/false -d /var/lib/cvmfs cvmfs This is not in the ebuild and should be. With the other recent ebuild updates that have been added almost everything is okay (per my tests/use of cvmfs) except this dependency is missing: dev-cpp/gtest i.e., compilation fails when it is not installed (due to trying to #include a file from gtest).
I missed the dependency on GTest, but Jakob (author of cvmfs) did point it out to me later that it's needed. I will try to patch it out rather than add the dependency to the ebuild. As for the user/group, I will create the appropriate ebuilds, acct-{user,group}/cvmfs as well.

After looking into the code, removing the GTest includes would be a major hassle, so I just added the dependency for now.
