Agreed - most such patches are usually more customisations of specific things to the environment, eg I change the dnsmasq default timeouts to better suit my environment. Also it can take a little while for changes to be accepted or whatever

Why not using epatch_user in a generic (profile or bashrc) post_src_prepare() ?

function post_src_prepare()
{
   function inherit() { : ; }

        . ${PORTDIR}/eclass/eutils
}


That seems neat - however, wouldn't you also need to wrap it to prevent it being applied twice by ebuilds which already run epatch_user?

Actually, can you explain how inherit works in this context? I'm not sure I understand?

Thanks
