If you have questions on ebuild files, checking [1] is probably the best bet. Has generic information on ebuilds as well as specific information regarding specific eclasses.

How am I supposed to fetch these packages in my > ebuild file? Download inside `src_unpack'? git-r3.eclass has an EGIT_SUBMODULES array that you can populate according to the use flags, but you'll probably have to specify the main repo uri for A in both A, B, and C as the EGIT_REPO_URI and then just cd to the submodule in the ebuild for B/C. See [2] for more information. [1]: https://devmanual.gentoo.org/ [2]: https://devmanual.gentoo.org/eclass-reference/git-r3.eclass/index.html -- Simon Thelen
