I posted this question in "All Things Gentoo" a couple days ago and got no response, so I'll try here. Does Gentoo have a public CVS repository of its code or is it only accessible by the developers? I would like to get into the source for gentoo and mess with it a bit.

I checked the gentoo FAQ and found this -->

How can I manage my own ebuilds without destroying them by (r)sync?
The simplest method is to use anonymous CVS instead of rsync, and maintain your local ebuilds in /usr/portage/local. Here's how to do it:
Code listing 4
# emerge cvs (if necessary)
# cd /usr
# cvs -d :pserver:anonymous@gentoo.org:/home/anoncvs login (hit <enter>)
# cvs -d :pserver:anonymous@gentoo.org:/home/anoncvs get gentoo-x86
# cp /usr/portage/distfiles/* gentoo-x86/distfiles/
# cp -a /usr/portage/packages/* gentoo-x86/packages/
# mv portage portage.old
# ln -s gentoo-x86 portage
# mkdir /usr/portage/local
# echo local >> /usr/portage/profiles/categories
# cp /etc/make.conf /etc/make.conf.orig
# sed -e 's/#SYNC="cvs/SYNC="cvs/' /etc/make.conf.orig > /etc/make.conf

Thanks! This is exactly what I was looking for! I checked all over the CVS developers guide, and searched the forum for just about every combination of "anonymous", "cvs", and "cvsroot" you can think of, but skipped that part of the FAQ since it seemed to have everything to do with emerge and nothing to do with CVS. At least now I know.

Since this thread is being pointed to out of Duplicates, I should note that, to my knowledge, anonymous CVS access to the Portage tree has been shut off.
