Wrote my First Ebuild

And it’s not that good. It works but something is wonky about it. I got lucky and picked out a program that’s small, I got unlucky that the program is a python script and I had to manually put in the pieces by hand. I like the process though. I started the night knowing absolutely nothing about ebuilds and end the night with a whole lot learned (thanks for the help nichoj). I love the directory and structure of programming – so direct. If you know what you’re doing you can do alot with a litte bit of code. I just discovered there is another one in bugzilla… crap (one that doesn’t have any bugs in it). Hmm, just looked a few days ago… So it goes. I did do some things better like using a creating a symlink instead of manually creating a bash start script and using ${PN}. Anyways I’m still proud enough to show it off: :)

Update:It was nagging so updated the ebuild and it works now.
