The official standard for finding packages is packages.gentoo.org. It |
| 8 |
(and the somewhat popular eix) have no problems at all reading |
| 9 |
the DESCRIPTION variable from the actual ebuilds. |

| 26 |
In this splendidly exemplary case, eix actually read the description |
| 27 |
from the ebuild - its very own metadata.xml does not have one. |
