Unless I want it to apply only to a specific version, I don't use
versions. This is a example of how the directory/files are for a patch
that allows kwrite to run as root.
/etc/portage/patches/kde-apps/kwrite/allow-root.patch
If I wanted it to apply to only one version, I could add that like you
do on yours. Since you want yours to apply to all version like mine,
make yours look sort of like mine. It works here so it should work for
you as well, if the patch works of course. ;-)
