How to create a proper pull request

1. you need the script 'sunrise-commit' first: emerge --ask app-portage/overlay-utils
2. fork the sunrise repo
3. clone the forked repo locally
4. either apply changes to an existing ebuild... or create a new ebuild and add metadata.xml
5. run sunrise-commit -c "[category/packagename] what you did" from within the ebuild directory to commit and push (it will create a manifest, changelog entry and run 'repoman full')
6. visit your forked sunrise github page and click on "Pull Request" button
7. wait for comments and follow further instructions
