So you want to apply a patch to the version already on portage? > I think that make portage download the latest code also isn't a good > idea so i don't know what changes in the ebuild can be done to make > this work without the need of a version released by the author You have two options. If the ebuild supports it, put the patch file in /etc/portage/vat/pkg-version/ and re-emerge it. Many ebuild will pick up user patches like this. Alternatively, run "ebuild prepare /path/to/ebuild" to unpack the source and apply any existing patches. It will tell you where it unpacked the code, go there and apply your patch, then run "ebuild merge /path/to/ebuild" to compile and install it. -- Neil Bothwick I have seen things you lusers would not believe. I've seen Sun monitors on fire off the side of the multimedia lab. I've seen NTU lights glitter in the dark near the Mail Gate. All these things will be lost in time, like the root partition last week. Time to die.
