7 Yes, ebuild version. For me all that starts with E (in combination with
8 Gentoo) is separated in my mind between E and the remaining part. Like:
9
10 - ebuild == e-build
11 - emerge == e-merge
12
13 And EVER automatically was E-VER for me, never had the idea to read it
14 as ever. Does that count as being addicted to Gentoo?
