Answer: You need to put SLOT="0" inside the ebuild. — Tom Wijsman 21:07, 16 January 2014 (UTC)


 * Hi all, please remember to sign your contributions to discussion pages. Kind regards, --Maffblaster (talk) 04:19, 25 December 2016 (UTC)


 * I think there are two issues here; even if you include 'SLOT="0"' in your ebuild, you still get the "!!! Repository 'x-portage'" error. See this forum thread and this exchange. Separately, the hello-world instructions should probably specify what name to save your ebuild file under; currently only the path is explicitly specified. Kergu (talk) 23:06, 3 June 2019 (UTC)
