Re: [gentoo-user] How to apply a patch to an ebuild?

That's almost it--

1) copy the ebuild and /files folder to your overlay
(/usr/local/portage/media-sound/aumix/, assuming that your
PORTDIR_OVERLAY is /usr/local/portage);

2) copy the patch to the /files folder in the overlay folder with the
other aumix patches;

3) edit the following section of the overlay ebuild copy:

src_unpack() {
        unpack ${A}
        cd ${S}
        epatch ${FILESDIR}/${P}-nohome.patch
        epatch ${FILESDIR}/${P}-close-dialogs.patch
        epatch ${FILESDIR}/${P}-save_load.patch
        epatch ${FILESDIR}/${P}-nls.patch

to

src_unpack() {
        unpack ${A}
        cd ${S}
        epatch ${FILESDIR}/${P}-nohome.patch
        epatch ${FILESDIR}/${P}-close-dialogs.patch
        epatch ${FILESDIR}/${P}-save_load.patch
        epatch ${FILESDIR}/${P}-nls.patch
==> epatch ${FILESDIR}/${P}-autoconf.patch   

Save (of course), redigest (ebuild
/usr/local/portage/media-sound/aumix/aumix-2.8-r2.ebuild digest), emerge.

Hope this helps,
Holly

Worked first try!  Thank you!
