[gentoo-user] How to name an ebuild for a beta version package

[j.romildo]

Hello.

I want to add an ebuild on my portage overlay for a beta version of a
package. The source file dis distributed as
ftp://ftp-sop.inria.fr/mimosa/fp/Bigloo/bigloo2.8c-beta17Aug06.tar.gz
and the beta version is identified by a date.

How would one name the ebuild for this package?

Regards,

Romildo

bigloo2.8c_alpha
...and in the ebuild, do:
 MY_P=${P/_alpha/-beta17Aug06}
 S=${WORKDIR}/${MY_P}
 SRC_URI="ftp://ftp-sop.inria.fr/mimosa/fp/Bigloo/${MY_P}.tar.gz"
