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.

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

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

My own portage setup. Then stepped thru with ebuild to get it accepted by emerge? I see no hits at all on either `overlay' or `layman' in man ebuild. There must be more to the story than just running ebuild commands. And expect the modified ebuild to be accepted by emerge.

Just do a less on /usr/portage/mail-filter/procmail/procmail-3.22-r10.ebuild and you'll see a good example.

Or dink around with sed inside as another poster on the bug did... also manually. Any URL where I can beef up on that a bit?
