But for most ebuilds there is no big change to EAPI="2". Only exception are ebuilds using the python.eclass [1]. There you likely will have a lot of work and the chance is high that you hit a bug in the eclass. So I would recommend contacting Arfrever in any case of problems. He is really willing to help us. app-doc/pms includes the EAPI cheat paper from fauli. [1] http://dev.gentoo.org/~Arfrever/Guide_on_writing_ebuilds_supporting_installation_for_multiple_Python_versions
