Feedback on my first gentoo ebuild

Hey guys!

Please let me know if this isn't the place or isn't allowed. I didn't see anything in the rules against posting our own repos! I'm just looking for feedback on my first gentoo repo/ebuild. I used arch for ~8ish years and just swapped to Gentoo. I've always had issues with backlight solutions for my laptop and end up using this custom script setup. I figured I'd try to learn about the ebuild process and package it along the way! I just figured I'd share it and get feedback. Its just a little .sh script to interact with the brightness file of a laptop backlight. If you use the backlight_group USE flag it will update the permissions on that file to group video using a udev rule. I've found it works in my testing but my scope is limited to a single laptop.

Thanks anyone and everyone!
