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: http://gentoo-wiki.com/HOWTO_Create_an_Updated_Ebuild Thanks, -- John Lange On Thu, 2005-10-06 at 13:00 -0400, [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: > Check out the doc pages on Gentoo about creating ebuilds.
