Yes, ebuild version. For me all that starts with E (in combination with Gentoo) is separated in my mind between E and the remaining part. Like: - ebuild == e-build - emerge == e-merge And EVER automatically was E-VER for me, never had the idea to read it as ever. Does that count as being addicted to Gentoo?
