If you have the sources - apply the patches to them and make the packages: for example - cd /packages/xmms-source && patch -p0 < /path/to/xmms.patch; then create the package. Look also for binary patching systems - currently I'm aware of tepatche existence (OpenBSD specific), portupgrade - a perl scripting system to FreeBSD for upgrading ports and packages, apt for Debian.You can automate patching and packaging in scripts - getting patches with wget, applying them to src,building the new stuff Regards, Dimitar Vassilev
