If we have a common part which cannot, due to whatever reason, be split
into several functions, but we've to do something package specific in
between, we need callbacks. Just a sample (might not work at all, I'm
not that much into eclasses):
foo.eclass:
foo_src_install() {
# Some prefix code
# …
package_specific_code
# Some postfix code
# …
}
foo-simple.ebuild:
src_install() { foo_src_install }
package_specific_code() {
# code for foo-simple
}
foo-adv.ebuild:
src_install() { foo_src_install }
package_specific_code() {
# code for foo-adv
}

How can I get it using SVN? Looking at the site for more than a minute
shouldn't be required to find it.
Btw.: you didn't correct your blog posting to show the actual facts.
Thanks,
