you can make it even easier:
create:
/etc/portage/env/PKG_CATEGORY
put patch in that directory
create file:
/etc/portage/PKG_CATEGORY/PKGNAME
with this:
post_src_prepare() {
epatch /etc/portage/env/PKG_CATEGORY/NAMEOF:PATCH
}
Ooh, I didn't know that. I've gotta go write it down somewhere.
Thanks.
learned that from Nicos (RealNC) ;)
Similar, but slightly different:
I have a patch in file /etc/portage/patches/chkrootkit.patch
and in file /etc/portage/env/app-forensics/chkrootkit is
post_src_unpack() {
epatch /etc/portage/patches/chkrootkit.patch
}
Portage automagically finds the script in .../env/... and applies the
patch!
[gentoo-user] Recompiling already installed packages with modification
Hi as i noticed the directory /usr/portage/distfiles holds all installed sources. What i want to do is modifying the code and reinstalling the package. What is the simplest way? Is it possible without modifying the ebuild? (i dont want to use make and 'make install' directly) Regards

Well, one way is to run the portage commands manually. And pause after
unpacking to put in your changes. Read 'man ebuild' for how this
can go.
But if you want everything automated: say you want to modify the
source, repackage, and just emerge pkgname, then I think you will
have to at least re-manifest the distfile to get the checksum to
match, else emerge won't proceed.
Someone else should be able to give a better response as to what the
standard practice is with patches. I think one of the simplest ways to
do what you want to do is to
*) Make your own overlay
*) create the appropriate cat/pkg directory
*) Copy over the ebuild. create a files/ subdirectory
*) Put your patch in the files/ subdirectory
*) Add 'epatch ${FILESDIR}/patchname.patch' in the src_unpack
function of the ebuild.
*) digest/manifest... run?
(I hope I didn't forget any step in the above.)
Cheers,

you can make it even easier:
create:
/etc/portage/env/PKG_CATEGORY
put patch in that directory
create file:
/etc/portage/PKG_CATEGORY/PKGNAME
with this:
post_src_prepare() {
epatch /etc/portage/env/PKG_CATEGORY/NAMEOF:PATCH
}
and you are done. remerge the pkg.
