Created attachment 500472 [details, diff] ebuild-writing/file-format: Describe syntax of suffixes correctly. The devmanual currently says about version suffixes (_alpha, _beta, etc.): "Any of these suffixes may be followed by a non-zero positive integer." This is not correct, as these suffixes can be followed by any unsigned integer (including zero). See attached patch.
