$str =~ /([^/]+)/([^/]+)/\2(.*).ebuild/
( $category, $package, $version ) = ( $1, $2, $3 )
Simple enough on a supporting language. Naive maybe, but has worked well for
me thus far.
It appears to be more a problem disambiguating from the user-input end of
the spectrum, and this scenario would be more likely to happen if for some
insane crack-fueled reason both packages were to exist. Even then,
app-misc/foo-1a # must always resolve to "app-misc/foo-1a" due to no =
stating that it needs a version part
=app-misc/foo-1a # must always resolve to "app-misc/foo" due to the =
stating a mandatory version part. ( =cat/pack is invalid )
