To get ebuild to use them. That appears not to happen for me.
You also need to modify your new .ebuild. In the current samba
ebuilds, you will find a src_unpack() function, and a couple of lines
that look like this:
export EPATCH_SUFFIX="patch"
epatch ${PATCHDIR}/general
if use oav ; then
...
fi
So after the "fi" line, add a new line to tell portage to apply your
patch. Something like:
epatch ${PATCHDIR}/mypatch
Your patch will need a ".patch" extension, and you will need to re-run
the ebuild digest command again after modifying it.
