Indeed. But why do you need to modify all the ebuilds? |

Wikis are very popular, but they aren't the solution to every problem in the |
| 16 |
world. If you want to contact the maintainer, write a mail, use IRC, or assign |
| 17 |
bugs to them, but why do we need another (communication) channel? |

It'd be great if you could animate people to concentrate useful information |
| 19 |
about a package in a certain place, but that's really not the job of an ebuild |
| 20 |
or portage. |
