12 Just as an update - those pointers were really useful and I was able to
13 finalize ebuild after all (see http://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=106890
14 for finalized version).

16 However, just to stay on the "purist" side - using "inherit gnustep-2" as
17 suggested in eclasses pulls in some dependancies that are not really needed
18 (like gnustep-gui and some other) which is not very gentoo-like. Is there a
19 plan to produce more modular eclasses to inherit from (I used "inherit
20 gnustep" and "DEPEND=gnustep-base" initially but comments in gnustep class
21 suggest that it's deprecated)?
