The idea was to put things where they belong to. Information about the package |
| 12 |
belongs into metadata.xml, information howto install the package into the |
| 13 |
ebuild. |

"The restrict attribute allows to restrict the application of certain tags to |
| 27 |
certain versions of a package. When this attribute is used, a tag without |
| 28 |
this attribute must also exist. That tag without the restrict attribute will |
| 29 |
serve as the default. The format of the restrict attribute is that of the |
| 30 |
DEPEND flag, except that "<" and ">" need to be specified by < and >." |
