+# @BLURB: Creates symlink to the latest version of multiple slotted packages.
+# @DESCRIPTION:
+# When a package is SLOT'ed, very often we need to have a symlink to the
+# latest version. However, depending on the order the user has merged them,
+# more often than not, the symlink maybe clobbered by the older versions.

+# This eclass provides a convenience function that needs to be given a
+# list of alternatives (descending order of recent-ness) and the symlink.
+# It will choose the latest version it can find installed and create

-# list of alternatives (descending order of recent-ness) and the symlink.
-# It will choose the latest version it can find installed and create
-# the desired symlink.
+# There are two ways to use this eclass. First is by declaring two variables
+# $SOURCE and $ALTERNATIVES where $SOURCE is the symlink to be created and
+# $ALTERNATIVES is a list of alternatives. Second way is the use the function
+# alternatives_makesym() like the example below.
+# @EXAMPLE:
+# pkg_postinst() {
+# alternatives_makesym "/usr/bin/python" "/usr/bin/python2.3" "/usr/bin/python2.2"
+# }
