Once you've got the hang of building a Gentoo system from scratch, the
best thing you can do is read all the man pages from portage and seeing
how that compares to what's in simple ebuilds.
ebuilds are quite straightforward, they all have a "global" section (my
phrase) defining various constants, and code sections for fetching,
unpacking, compiling, installing sources and the files to the live
system. Quite simple in concept.
The fun starts when ebuilds work fine and the dev's machine and get
published, but don;t do quite the same thing on your machine :-)
