I have unpacked your patches to /etc/portage/patches as described here: http://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki//etc/portage/patches and then run # emerge xfce4-weather-plugin After restarting xfce4, the weather-plugin started to work.

Nevertheless, just # emerge --update --deep --with-bdeps=y --newuse --backtrack=90 --ask world instead of # emerge xfce4-weather-plugin did not worked. > The ebuild should have the following lines added: > > src_prepare() { > epatch_user > } I have not done this relying on the promise by Greg Kubaryk that the ebuild is epatch_user enabled. > Don't forget to redo the manifest for the ebuild.
