[gentoo-user] custom ebuilds

[David Relson]

Greetings,

I recently noticed a keyboard problem (ctrl left arrow moves a word to
the _right_ when using the numeric keypad) and now have a patch for
GTK, specifically file gtk+-2.8.19/gtk/gtktextview.c.

What's the best way to create a personalized ebuild to include this fix
when I build?  

What's the best way to get this patch included in the official ebuild?

Thanks.

David

You can use the current -xinerama.patch for gtk as a model for
creating/applying your patch.

File a new bug report on bugs.gentoo.org, and attach your patch to it.

I can't remember which one of these guides I used when I created a
couple of ebuilds, but it was probably the third one. I didn't find it
too hard and I have very limited programming skills.

Sorry. Don't know. It's probably in the wiki somewhere.

File a bug (after making sure none currently exist): https://bugs.gentoo.org.
