Guess you never had to maintain packages whose releases are only |
| 25 |
snapshots. They're trivial but it's a waste of time to re-assemble all |
| 26 |
the bits every couple of months when you want to make a snapshot. |

Questions one needs to answer: |
| 29 |
|
| 30 |
- What SCM is used ? |
| 31 |
- What is the URI ? |
| 32 |
- How to fetch it ? |
| 33 |
- What should be cleaned up after fetching ? |
| 34 |
- What dirname to use so that it matches ebuilds' $S ? |
| 35 |
- What compression to use so that it matches SRC_URI ? |
| 36 |

Those scripts are made to automate this, and as you can see are closely |
| 41 |
related to ebuilds, and thus fit perfectly next to them. |
