If there's no entry in metadata.xml you can add it to your service and |
| 20 |
submit them via the usual means to Gentoo repository. Based on my |
| 21 |
experience I am just guessing that doing this externally won't be viable |
| 22 |
in the long term. If you succeed that way, all power to you. |
