[gentoo-dev] Update skel.ebuild for EAPI 6

[Ulrich Mueller]

See patch included below. I have kept the changes at the bare minimum
necessary to update this for EAPI 6. A major rewrite of the file may
be considered later.

Subject: [PATCH] skel.ebuild: Update for EAPI 6.

Put less emphasis on eutils and epatch; they will be used less often
with eapply being available in EAPI 6.

Don't mention ancient EAPIs that are banned.

Don't mention einstall since it is banned.
