You're looking at the man page for the ebuild command. -- Neil Bothwick Why is the word abbreviation so long? signature.asc Description: PGP signature

Sorry, I was thinking you would apply the patch manually as a one-off... which you could do by unpacking using the ebuild command, applying patch, then compiling/merging it. If you want to make your own ebuild then yes you'd most likely want to put it in an overlay.

I looked up a previous thread I started here in Nov 2008, with Subject: Nots and bolts of creating an ebuild where some brief outlines of how to do it are provided by David R and Daniel P. See it on gmane here: http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.linux.gentoo.user/205481/focus=205483
