Re: [gentoo-user] Contributing to Portage

The Gentoo documentation on ebuilds is "after-the-fact".

"Contributing Ebuilds: This guide explains how to submit ebuild packages
through the Bugzilla tracking system."

I did finally find it. Its apparently not in the gentoo documentation
but there is a Wiki.

Once I figured out the appropriate search term is "ebuild" I was able to
turn up some decent google results.

For the sake of anyone else looking:

Thanks,
