[gentoo-dev] portage idea - auto embed user patches
Hi! I have some idea on extending portage building system (ebuild?). Sometimes I'm (for example) want to apply custom patch to some package. This patch can do something unusual, that can not be accepted by maintainers and I know this. But I like features in my patch and want it to apply automatically when updating the package. Not to do it like this: $ ebuild /usr/portage/pkg-categoty/some-package/some-package-1.0 unpack $ cd /var/tmp/portage/pkg-categoty/some-package/work/... $ patch -p1 ~/my-patch-for-some-package $ cd $ ebuild /usr/portage/pkg-categoty/some-package/some-package-1.0 merge It is lot of manual work. The idea is having an file, for example /etc/portage/package.patch with contents like this: =pkg-category/some-package-1* /path/to/my-patch-for-some-package Of course, patches could fail in newer versions. But when I'll use that feature - I'll understand why it can be and it'll be more convenient to maintain it. -- gentoo-dev@gentoo.org mailing list

Usually it's just an epatch line that needs to be added. -- Raymond Lewis Rebbeck -- gentoo-dev@gentoo.org mailing list

May be I can redefine src_unpack function. But package can have its own src_unpack. If there will be something like system_after_src_unpack, then I can do it. But I don't know about such. http://dev.gentoo.org/~solar/bashrc At the bottom of solar's bashrc you will find some lines dealing with AUTOPATCH, I don't see the bashrc.autopatch in his dev space, but you can probably request it from him. -Alec Warner [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- gentoo-dev@gentoo.org mailing list

You can use a bashrc script http://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic-t-339019.html Thanks all. I was misunderstood the place of bashrc. Now I see, that it is a solution. :) -- gentoo-dev@gentoo.org mailing list
