6 Actually, that is the only current course of action that is acceptable.

12 The templates are documentation. They are all empty on purpose, as you
13 are either supposed to fill them in yourself, after copying the template
14 to a spec file for your own use, or you remove the option if you do not
15 use it. The documentation above each option is the important part.

19 Not really. If I get annoyed, I'll just quit answering and let other

31 portage_confdir...

36 This would require portage_confdir. We don't use portage_confdir when
37 building releases, however. I also personally dislike it, as it removes
38 the transparency of being able to give someone a spec file.

44 Use livecd/fsscript to add a shell script to be executed to perform any
45 additional tasks. You can even use it for merging packages with crazy
46 USE flags... *grin*
