[gentoo-user] Manually compiling a gentoo package

[Anthony E. Caudel]

I need to make a change in the code for a gentoo package (pgcalc2) to 
check whether it corrects a problem.  If I simply download it with 
emerge -f pgcalc2, make the correction and then try to finish the 
emerge, it will fail the md5 check.

How can I do this?

I am not a portage expert, but would it be possible to re-tar the
fixed source, then re-generate the ebuild digest using:

# ebuild <path to ebuild> digest

Then you should be able to continue with the emerge?

HTH,

Matt

Assuming you have a fairly standard setup:

ebuild /usr/portage/sci-calculators/pgcalc2/pgcalc2-2.2.4.ebuild unpack
<make change in /var/tmp/portage/pgcalc2-2.2.4/work>
ebuild /usr/portage/sci-calculators/pgcalc2/pgcalc2-2.2.4.ebuild compile
ebuild /usr/portage/sci-calculators/pgcalc2/pgcalc2-2.2.4.ebuild install

See "man ebuild".

Thanks, Richard.  Those steps did the trick.  And the author's 
correction fixed the problem also.

So, with a final "ebuild ... qmerge", I have a working pgcalc2.

Cool.  If upstream is going to apply the patch to a future release
that may be some weeks off, you might consider filing a bug report on
bugs.gentoo.org with the patch to get it added to the current ebuild
and release.

Should I put my self-fixed pgcalc2 in an overlay?
