[gentoo-user] how to apply a patch to ebuild?

[Allan Spagnol Comar]

Hi I was reading the bug report 114915 at gentoo bugzilla and it
mentions a patch to ebuid, I had downloaded the patch but I don't have
any clue about how can I apply it to current ebuid.

I had searched gentoo wiki and found nothing. Does some gentle soul
can help me with this stupid question ?

thanks, Allan

As root:
cd /usr/portage/x11-libs/gtkDPS
patch -p0 </where/you/saved/gtkDPS-0.3.4.ebuild.patch

man patch for more details.

well, how confident are you at having a go?  Search the wiki for
"portage overlay".  Essentially it involves making a directory
(like /usr/local/portage) and putting modified ebuilds in there.

You only have to copy as much or as little of /usr/portage as you like,
that may only be 2 or 3 files.

The patching itself is done with the `patch` command line tool.  man
patch will give you more help there.  Usually its `patch -px <patchfile`

The reason for adding it to the overlay (your other option is patching
straight to /usr/portage) is because /usr/portage will be overwritten by
the next emerge --sync.

Hope this gives you a head start, post back if you need more info.

There may be a patched version already in portage, still masked.
If there isn't you may consider creating a new ebuild under 
PORTDIR_OVERLAY using the old one as a template.
