OK, although I don't entirely understand why you did it when you don't
include any patches at all.  The cvs 1.11.5 .src.rpm off cvshome would
just build on Owl with not a single change (rpminit; rpm --rebuild ...).

Anyway, someone else has already contributed a slightly more complete
cvs package (but there's still more work), we'll be bringing the topic
to owl-devel.  Let me know if you'd like to join that discussion.

It doesn't need root for that, why would it?

I'm sure others will find this useful, especially as you add more
stuff.  I too have some non-public packages built for Owl, but I'd
rather not release mine as people would have quality expectations
which I didn't try to meet.
