Updating Gentoo ebuilds via script

Hallo,

in the last weeks I worked on Gentoo ebuilds to get familiar to it. I
updated it for mythtv and a lot of people were asking for new ebuilds.
Raymond Wagner always mentioned to the build_ebuild.py script in the
packaging repository and added that he is currently working on a
refactoring of the same.

Unfortunately this script is not usefull for me since I'm not using
github but cloned the mythtv repository to my local server. So I have
some own ideas about a shell script being more flexible to fit my needs.

I'd like to know what is planned for the new script and what features it
supports to know if it makes sense to write my own script or wait for
the new one??

Thanks in advance.

Regards
Christian

It will have an optional dependency on the dulwich library, allowing the
archives to be built from a local repository, rather than pulled from
github.

Okay
Any idea when it is ready to use?

My idea was to use a bash script getting some parameters like the one
actually in the repo plus the url of the git server. Using this
parameters, the repo can be cloned to /tmp and any information can be
get from that. Via git archive the archive is created and saved to
distfiles dir.
This should be easily possible via bash script. From my point of view
using python seems to be a bit too complicated for that simple needs.
