Yes, ebuild version. For me all that starts with E (in combination with
Gentoo) is separated in my mind between E and the remaining part. Like:
- ebuild == e-build
- emerge == e-merge
And EVER automatically was E-VER for me, never had the idea to read it
as ever. Does that count as being addicted to Gentoo?
