That's because the plugin's version/release number has not been modified, so emerge will not process it. > 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.
