I was trying to make a package of xdvik-22.40y1 but Portage didn't
allow me to do it.  I'm using portage-2.0.49-r3.

Here is the log about it:

rico% ebuild xdvik-22.40y_p1.ebuild digest
!!! Name error in 22.40y_p1: characters before _ must be numeric
!!! Error: PF is null; exiting.
rico% ebuild xdvik-22.40y1.ebuild digest
!!! Name error in 22.40y1
!!! Error: PF is null; exiting.
rico% ebuild xdvik-22.40y.1.ebuild digest
!!! Name error in 22.40y.1: "40y" is not a valid version component.
!!! Error: PF is null; exiting.

From Gentoo Linux Development Policy xdvik-22.40y_p1.ebuild is
expected to be a valid ebuild name while xdvik-22.40y1.ebuild and
xdvik-22.40y.1.ebuild are not (I think it is better to output an error
message in the seconde case, xdvk-22.40y1.ebuild, as well as in the
third case).  

Thanks in advance.
