[gentoo-dev] framework for local auto patching

[Ned Ludd]

The dev-portage@ guys will probably hate me for telling the rest of you 
this kinda framework is even remotely possible but I'm sure they will 
get over it.. (hi ferringb)

If your like me and have a rather large customized overlay to apply misc
patches to misc packages that really don't change much at the source 
level and your getting sick of the repetitive task of having to hawk 
your overlay and make sure that it's ebuilds are kept up to date by
being >= than what $PORTDIR provides this might be just thing you 
always needed.

Then simply do something like this.
cvs diff
> /var/cvsroot/gentoo-x86/local/patches/sys-apps/sandbox/sandbox-1.2.1-sfperms.patch

emerge sandbox

# where /var/cvs/gentoo-x86/local/patches is equiv to your desired auto
PATCH_OVERLAY

have fun.

You may also want to check bug #67072 [1], where I suggested some
indication for when you are about to install something from the original
portage tree, but you also have a version of the package in your
overlay.
