I think this question is more geared towards gentoo-user, but ${PV} and |
2 |
${PN} are offshoots of ${P}. Basically, if ${P} stands for "Package |
3 |
Name & Version", then ${PV} and ${PN} hold the Version and Name of the |
4 |
package specifically. Others of note are ${A}, which I believe is the |
5 |
archive (i.e., the tarball), ${S} for Source Directory. ${WORKDIR} and |
6 |
${FILESDIR} and ${DISTFILES} should all be self-explanatory (I think |
7 |
${DISTFILES} exists). |

As for additional documentation on these, they might be in the other |
10 |
docs, but you probably will have to just study random ebuilds. |
