Portage is considerably less work than the tree. Saving as much effort |
| 9 |
as possible from an ebuild perspective should be a major consideration, |
| 10 |
even if it makes the portage side more complicated. Think of how all |
| 11 |
the ebuild-related problems are going to be solved first. Don't leave |
| 12 |
it as an afterthought. |

The sensible place to start experimenting is by adapting existing |
| 18 |
ebuilds and tinkering with ebuild.sh, not by adding something which may |
| 19 |
or may not end up being relevant to portage proper. |
