Enhanced ebuild metadata.xml info

Some of the ebuilds in this repo contain improved comprehensive information describing USE flags, developer API documentation info, or special per-package environmental variables that improve the build process that can be found in the metadata.xml, or obtainable through epkginfo -x =games-engines/box2d-2.4.1-r2 for example. Some of that information is only obtained by inspecting the comments of that file. See epkginfo --help for details.

Additional troubleshooting details can also be found by inspecting the header and footer of the ebuild.
