@Brendan
- change the copyright year to 2016
- use EAPI 6
- mark x86 testing

I haven't looked into the rest, but EAPI 5 is perfectly fine to use

Is there a drawback in using the newest EAPI (especially if it's a new package)?

Not really; it will be masked by missing EAPI until users have upgraded the portage version to one supporting it.

The ebuild in question is very simple one, the point was more generic in that current EAPI 5 ebuilds doesn't have to be actively rewritten, in this case doing so likely makes sense.

Yes, I see your point.

However, this is a new package that will go into testing anyway. And a portage that supports EAPI=6 is already in the tree, so I don't see a problem there.

Anyway, thanks for the input Kristian.
