an ebuild, using git-r3 for lack of unpack wisdom at this juncture
my first attempt at an ebuild would integrate this into /etc/make.conf but i noticed that if that was a symlink up the hierarchy that sed -i would derail that symlink; so now the script has "install" and "remove" shown in the the help which will perform the actions by appending, preserving all prior make.conf entries in either case

Created attachment 865141 [details] an ebuild, using git-r3 for lack of unpack wisdom at this juncture DESCRIPTION="Portage utility script: aria2c fetch client for Gentoo" I have been running this as a make.conf hack for maybe a year and got a spur to learn the ebuild process, and try to make it easy for newbs. I failed at most of those goals but it does work to install a script from a git-repo. I hear a lot of opinions on how perfect gentoo portage transfers already are, and I wanted to contribute yet more perfection still to the pool of opinions. Ebuild attached. git repo in ebuild
