Okay, I've gone over the docs and the HOWTOs on gentoo.org and I'm still
a wee bit (okay maybe a lot) fuzzy on developing/updating ebuilds.
I have a particular app I use quite often (DVDStyler), but the ebuild in
portage is pretty old (1.5.2_p2) compared to the latest version
available (1.6.2), the difference being about a year between them.
I know I can just compile the source for the latest, but I'd like to
update the ebuild to learn how to do it. The docs however, aren't
helpful from the standpoint that there's no clear cut procedure for
setting up a devel environment for building/testing an ebuild locally
without becoming a gentoo developer, per se.
Me, I rather like having step-by-step instructions on my first go round
so I can 'do it right' the first time, then I'll know how to fix it if I
bork something.
Is there something like that floating around?
