8 1. then just install the ebuild. Read up on 'overlays' on how to deal with
9 ebuilds from outside of the tree. This is covered in the documentation.

11 2. you need to become a dev, if you want to 'fix' things in the tree.

13 3. in each package directory is a file called 'metadata.xml' where the devs
14 are listed.

23 6. if you have compilation problems always check bugzilla first. There is a
24 pretty good chance somebody hit the problem earlier and reported it and
25 someone else left a workaround or fix in the comments.
