Modified ebuild with jcappub addition.

Hi,

It would be great to have jcappub.sty in dev-texlive/texlive-publishers. I couldn't find it in CTAN but it is in http://jcap.sissa.it/jcap/help/JCAP_TeXclass.jsp

I've modified the texlive-publishers ebuild, I hope that I did it correctly. 

Thank you

I suggest to set EAPI=6 and year 2016

well, I have no clue how this can even work since adding packages like you did would need to have the proper distfile generated.

As for texlive, I can't find jcappub in upstream repositories and we won't be adding packages like that since the goal is to follow upstream there.


Best solution is to add an ebuild for jcappub under dev-tex category, so that it can be installed easily on gentoo.

I've just uploaded an ebuild. Sorry for the delay. It's my first ebuild so, although it works, it must be really improvable. Should I file a new bug?

Thanks.

yes please; or even better: a github pull request so that review & merging is easier
