Please fix the following and reopen:

* http://dev.gentoo.org/~ciaranm/docs/mw-faq/docfiles.txt
* You can use versionator for the substitution. It's sometimes more readable. No
big deal in this case either way though.

Actually I don't see my error in this case. The docs I install are the
changelog, the readme, the license and some RFCs. Maybe you could give me a hint
on this one.

Using the versionator eclass the corresponding line would be:
MY_P=${PN}-$(replace_version_separator 2 '')
instead of:
MY_P=${PN}-${PV/_/}

I like the version in my ebuild is better readable but I would change it if it
was necessary.

You're installing LICENSE. We try to avoid this, there's already a copy of the
file in licenses/ anyway.

Removed installation of LICENSE from the ebuild according to comment #5

(this is an automated message based on filtering criteria that matched this bug)
'EBUILD' is in the KEYWORDS which should mean that there is a ebuild attached 
to this bug.
This bug is assigned to maintainer-wanted which means that it is not in the 
main tree.
Heuristics show that no Gentoo developer has commented on your ebuild.

Hello, The Gentoo Team would like to firstly thank you for your ebuild 
submission. We also apologize for not being able to accommodate you in a timely
manner. There are simply too many new packages.

Allow me to use this opportunity to introduce you to Gentoo Sunrise. The 
sunrise overlay[1] is a overlay for Gentoo which we allow trusted users to 
commit to and all users can have ebuilds reviewed by Gentoo devs for entry 
into the overlay. So, the sunrise team is suggesting that you look into this 
and submit your ebuild to the overlay where even *you* can commit to. =)

Because this is a mass message, we are also asking you to be patient with us. 
We anticipate a large number of requests in a short time. 

Thanks,
On behalf of the Gentoo Sunrise Team,
Jeremy.
