I think it was a specific question. What steps do you use to create a |
| 24 |
prefix ebuild. That document is hard to understand in my opinion and I |
| 25 |
know what the prefix is supposed to do. It is definitely not a simple |
| 26 |
step by step guide for someone wanting to create an ebuild themselves |
| 27 |
as it is designed as a technical description to define the exact |
| 28 |
semantics of "EPREFIX" and related variables in different situations. |
| 29 |
It would do well to have some example ebuilds embedded into the |
| 30 |
document that utilise each of the variables. |
