+ <title>Ebuild Phases</title>
+ <para>
+ Ebuild execution is divided into a series of phases. In order
+ to implement a phase, an ebuild defines a function to serve as
+ an entry point for execution of that phase.
+ This design is similar to the template method pattern that
+ is commonly used in object oriented programming languages. An ebuild
+ can inherit or override a template method from an eclass.
