Change the ebuild (add the epatch statement, check some ebuild for an example) 5. emerge Step 1 is optional, I think. Also, check the portage docs - I have never done anything with $PORTDIR_OVERLAY, so I don't know what directory will be first searched for an ebuild if it is in both $PORTDIR_OVERLAY and /usr/portage. Possibly you have to give it a unique name. this is a bit of overkill don't you think why not just : ebuild file.ebuild unpack cd /var/tmp/portage/packagedir/work/packagedir_unpacked patch source tree ebuild file.ebuild compile ebuild file.ebuild merge This would seem to be the whole point of portage/ebuild setup so that you can have control over the whole process. The above process of duplicating the ebuild and adding your own patches is really only needed if you are submitting a patch to the main ebuild .. but to custom patch just one application the above should work fine. -- Henti Smith [EMAIL PROTECTED] Senior Administrator The Computer-Smith Networking http://www.tcsn.co.za -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list

It worked fine for me. Hope it helps. == Hello Frederic. Here is how I recovered. First I found the python source in the /usr/portage/distfile. Python-2.2.2.tgz also Python-2.2.3.tgz should work also. And if you don't have it in the distfile, just download it directly from pythons site. then untar the file into /tmp (or whatever temp location you want). next go to the python directory you just created with the untar, and do the ./configure --prefix=/usr command. you must use the --prefix=/usr in order to override the standard location of python. I forgot this many times, but someone corrected me and that makes it work. Then do make, and make install (you can also do make test before make install if you want). After that, you must rescue your portage. go to /usr/portage/sys-apps/portage/files. you will see a file named portage-rescue-2.0.47-r10-x86.tbz2. Issue this command (exactly) tar -xjpUvf portage-rescue-2.0.47-r10-x86.tbz2 -C / you will be overlaying /usr/portage but that is exactly what you want to do. And dont forget the / because you are untarring into root (/) immediately issue emerge rsync (it will complain at the end, but that's ok) and then emerge python and finally emerge portage Steps in brief (you may need some slight changes depending on location of the Python source file: cd /tmp tar -xzvf /usr/portage/distfile/Python-2.2.2.tgz cd Python-2.2.2 ./configure --prefix=/usr make make test make install cd /usr/portage/sys-apps/portage/files tar -xjpUvf portage-rescue-2.0.47-r10-x86.tbz2 -C / emerge rsync emerge python emerge portage I hope this works for you.

Re: [gentoo-user] xine GUIs that work with GNOME2?
As I understand it the ebuild will set conditions on what it needs to have built (the dependencies). Just doing -u will say it has the latest. To emerge previous versions you have to use the path /usr/portage/... . I understand. It was just a little confusing. Now I understand how it works. I tried to manually install that version and it wouldn't let me. I tried to emerge -u libglade and it said that there was no upgrade. Then, I tried to emerge it and it wanted to re-merge the installed one. Then I tried emerge libglade-0.17-r6 and it said that there was no such ebuild. So it will only do this to satisfy non-conflicting dependencies? I'm installing totem now.

Did you try checking to see if ${DISTDIR} is a valid variable outside
of portage? Try a cron script that does something like:
echo ${DISTDIR} | mail -s distdir check myemailaddress;
or even
env | mail -s env myemailaddress;
I think that this was an invalid destination, so the download completed
and it saved them to nowhere. Try replacing it and manually entering
