The ebuild I had submitted (and that got into CVS) I had used servletapi-2.4.ebuild as a template, but apparently I forgot to change the slot, among other things. It should probably be 2, not 2.4. Also, the description needs to updated as well. My bad.
Created attachment 59758 [details, diff] patch to fix slot, and others I'm pretty sure that there aren't any packages in portage using this package yet, so I don't think it will be a problem to change the slot.
fixed in cvs, thanks for reporting
