Currently I don't know much about creating ebuilds. Is there anywhere a specification of those ebuild files? ... but it wouldn't either be easy to create a special ebuild for my installation, because I don't do a normal busybox build/installation. I'm throwing in several source modifications to busybox and I do a completely different installation (e.g. naming and placement of the files in the destination system). In addition I'm trying and working with daily snapshots of busybox (from time to time).
