That should be 5 for new ebuilds.

Why not "more than thirty" like the HOMEPAGE says?

>HOMEPAGE="http://billposer.org/Software/uni2ascii.html"
>SRC_URI="http://billposer.org/Software/Downloads/${P}.tar.bz2"
>
>LICENSE="GPL-3"
>SLOT="0"
>KEYWORDS="~amd64"
>IUSE="-tk"

Why is it disabled by default? In any case, this USE flag should be documented in metadata.xml, I guess.

>DEPEND=""

No need to set an empty DEPEND.

>RDEPEND="tk? (
>    dev-lang/tcl
>    dev-lang/tk
>    dev-tcltk/tablelist
>)"
>
>src_install() {
>    emake DESTDIR="${D}" install

That's the default emake ... install, so just put "default".

Agree. It will be fixed.

> Why not "more than thirty" like the HOMEPAGE says?
I thought it wasn't significant information.

"tk" USE flag has obvious meaning I think.

Written according to the Gentoo Development Guide. What you mean "default"? Just "emake install"?
