If you're creating a live ebuild, there are already existing eclasses
that works from the user's POV.

If your aim is to create an ebuild for a specific version, you might as
well checkout stuff yourself and let Gentoo mirror the generated tarball
(your mail doesn't talk about RESTRICT=fetch). If you let Gentoo mirror
the tarball, users are likely to be happier because they'll get the file
faster and in a more reliable way.

Or am I missing something?
