  What CVS? Anyway, Familiar 0.8.4 was built from a separate tree (see
Familiar's home page), and you'd better use that tree if you just want
to build few packages. Otherwise, there's effort to port Fam0.8.4
changes back to OE's familiar-unstable DISTRO, see recent archives of
this list. You're welcome to help.
