4 [ Ebuild HOWTO ]

6 Reading only partially so far but this looks really complicated. I
7 thought I remembered a more nuts and bolts howto somewhere more
8 appropriate for someone getting started who is ..er intellectually
9 challenged.

11 I really just want to add an epatch line to an existing ebuild but it
12 appears some protocols need to be followed to generate the manifest
13 and probably lots of other stuff.
14
15 Can anyone point me to something?

17 I've see it said here a few times that creating an overlay and a
18 custom ebuild is `easy' but I suspect that only applies if you already
19 know how its done.
