!!FUZZY!!The metadata provides the package's name, version, where to get sources from, available USE flags, license, website etc. Dependency information in ebuilds allows Portage to pull in any other packages required to build and run a package that is to be installed - no more, no less. Dependencies are very granular in Gentoo, they will even vary depending on what use flags are selected, for ultimate selectivity. Perhaps most importantly, ebuilds contain the information required to configure, build (compile), install, and test each package - usually from a project's own source code.
