Bump version for existing ebuild

Let’s bump version of dev-scheme/guile-ncurses from 2.2 to 3.0 version.

$ repoman manifest
$ git add guile-ncurses-3.0.ebuild Manifest
$ git commit -s -m "dev-scheme/guile-ncurses: bump version to 3.0"

Adding new ebuilds

It’s encouraged to use newest EAPI version possible, but you can use any EAPI that greater or equals to that written at profiles/eapi of this overlay.

Creating requests for writing ebuilds

You also can create issue with detailed information about package you want see in Gentoo. It’s totally not guaranteed that it will be done, but who knows. Issues are free to create so why not?

Refactor existing ebuilds

You can change existing ebuilds to add new functionality, solve QA issues or bump EAPI version.
