It will, ebuild carries out any prior steps if they are needed. You may want to use ebuild ... prepare instead of ebuild ... unpack. It carries out any pre-compilation steps, like applying patches. If you are doing this because you want to apply a patch yourself, you can use one of the above, apply your patches, then run ebuild ... merge to complete the process and install it. man 1 ebuild explains it all. -- Neil Bothwick What do you do when you see an endangered animal eating an endangered plant?
