Re: [gentoo-dev] Per-category and per-package eclasses

[Dan Meltzer <parallelgrapefruit@gmail.com>]

I can see the use for a category one, but I can see no point for a
package-local one, if you're going to have it specific for one
package, why not just put it in the ebuild, and have no eclass at all?
