I think we can store these properties as common ones:
1) Name - store in the variable PackageName
2) Version - PackageVersion
3) Maintainer/Packager email (is this important to be stored ? - I
never look at this field :) - Packager
4) Description - Description
5) (If available, maybe ?) Changelog - ebuild probably doesnt have
this, ignore it
6) Section/Group - PackageGroup

Pat, which of these are available in ebuilds ?

- dBera

PS: Are there any other popular linux packages other than deb, rpm and ebuild ?
