Hi!

In order to get my scanner (HP 3400c) working i have to apply a patch to
media-gfx/sane-backends.

I'm new to gentoo and a bit lost.

I was thinking that first I copy the media-gfx/sane-backends directory
to /usr/local/portage.

Then I copy sane-backends-1.0.11.ebuild to
sane-backends-1.0.11-r1.ebuild.

Then I add the patching to src_unpack.

Then I add PORTDIR_OVERLAY="/usr/local/portage"

But what then?

Am I going to a totally wrong direction?

Is there some simple howto somewhere how to apply a patch to some
package and using emerge at the same time?

-Niklas
