The best way to do this is to modify the ebuild to apply the patch. Copy the existing cyrus-imapd directory from /usr/portage to your overlay. Copy the patch to the files subdirectory of that new directory Open the copied ebuild in your text editor. you'll see an epatch line in the src_unpack section, add another one with the name of your patch. Run "ebuild cyrus-imapd-version.ebuild digest" Emerge it. If the patch may be useful to others, file a report on bugs.g.o. -- Neil Bothwick "That trick NEVER works!"
