Hi all,
A friend of mine and myself are willing to develop some tools to help ebuild
development.
We have some constraints, but we are thinking on something like:
1) A tool to ease writing ebuilds. It would take some parameters, i.e.:
1.1) Where are the sources?
1.2) Decompression algorithm?

Apropos ebuild-aware text editor, has anyone written an eclipse plugin
yet? I find that setting up ebuild as an external tool is basically
all I need but syntax highlighting and eclass reference would make
things prettier.

That is enough once you know how to write ebuilds.
We were thinking of a GUI to soften the learning curve to non-experts.
Probably not useful for a Gentoo developer, but could provide an easy way to
write ebuilds to project maintainers themselves, not to Gentoo resources.

He's not going to waste someone else's time, and as he said there will be
compatibility with current configuration files, I don't think there's any
