That's essentially my whole point. Generators are _not_ able to catch all |
| 11 |
corner cases but should be able to lower the initial ebuild creation |
| 12 |
cost. That could be such things like figure out the license, try to |
| 13 |
fill the source url, .... |
| 14 |
In principal: Try to automate what is possible and leave the rest to |
| 15 |
the maintainer. |

But in that state they are a tool for the Gentoo developer not for the |
| 18 |
user. |
