Here's another idea and I don't know why I didn't think of it
sooner.. Instead of any system change to the patch ebuild.. Inside
the eutils.eclass do a quick check for gpatch and if it exists use
that vs patch.
Why not simply alias patch=gpatch in profile.bashrc?
See the FreeBSD profile for an example.
I'd like to package portage for OpenSolaris and have it just drop-in work so
modifications like what you suggest wouldn't be required.
You'd still need to create an OpenSolaris profile. While you're at it,
you can create a profile.bashrc with the required modifications.
I don't see any reason to not do the gpatch change, but it looks like
unecessary to me because you already have simpler ways to solve the
problem. So, requiring others to do a significant useless amount of
work when you can solve it with just a line is not fair.
If I don't have to introduce a new bash dependency I'd like to avoid it.
I'll do the work. The patch is a couple lines and I don't think it would
be significant or impact maintenance of the eclass.
