Am currently putting together a server on which a fair number of the packages have needed tweaking at the source level to get required functionality. At the moment I am using ebuild unpack, then patching and running compile install and qmerge. If there is no easy solution at the moment I will probably just tweak emerge to add a directory to look in for local patches. Chris -- gentoo-dev@gentoo.org mailing list
