I've used it a few times myself and it does work well. The only thing I seem to always forget, until emerge pukes on my keyboard and reminds me, file permissions need to be portage:portage. When I create the patch file, it is set to root:root and I always forget to change it. It does make it easier to fix problems that are patched but not yet available in the tree. Dale :-) :-)
