Well, riscv-tools is out there for too long..I am really surprised that nobody ever wrote an ebuild for it...

If you have questions on ebuild files, checking [1] is probably the best bet. Has generic information on ebuilds as well as specific information regarding specific eclasses. > Let's say package A has features B and C.

How am I supposed to fetch these packages in my > ebuild file? Download inside `src_unpack'? git-r3.eclass has an EGIT_SUBMODULES array that you can populate according to the use flags, but you'll probably have to specify the main repo uri for A in both A, B, and C as the EGIT_REPO_URI and then just cd to the submodule in the ebuild for B/C. See [2] for more information. [1]: https://devmanual.gentoo.org/ [2]: https://devmanual.gentoo.org/eclass-reference/git-r3.eclass/index.html -- Simon Thelen

Where can I add some description information? In general, these descriptions are in XML files. Globally used flags (e.g. 'X' or 'python') are set in the portage profiles (search for ".desc" in the portage tree[1]). Flags used only by certain packages are in the ebuild dir in metadata.xml[2]. I suggest you take a look into www-client/firefox’s metadata.xml, because it uses even descriptions with line breaks.

[gentoo-user] Problem while writing ebuild
Hi, As a noob in ebuild files, I got some problems while created my own ebuild. I googled a lot but did not really find any clue. Let's say package A has features B and C. They are Github repositories and A is the entry, while B and C are submodules. Now I want to make it three different packages respectively, and use USE flags to control which to install just like texlive. 1) I know I can add USE `B' and `C' into `IUSE' variable, but if I run `equery u A', those flags are listed but with an "" description. Where can I add some description information? 2) Only A has Github release URL, B and C by default should be fetched via `git submodule...'. How am I supposed to fetch these packages in my ebuild file? Download inside `src_unpack'? Any help is appreciated. Thanks in advance. Danny
