ebuild maintenance tips.

Live ebuild
Please remember to keep the live ebuild in sync with newest release, and the other way around. This includes copying keywords to the live ebuild.

Small changes and breaking changes

If you'd like to make a potentially breaking change, do it on the live ebuild first. This will ensure it gets some testing from our brave users before we unleash it globally.

Version bumps
When preparing for a version bump, always check at least NEWS, configure.ac and Makefile.am.

Preferably, start off the live ebuild which can have some pending changes already:

Remember to sync your changes back to the live ebuild as well!
