Re: [gentoo-alt] Re: simple question about installing chromium browser for use in debian OS using gentoo prefix..

[Fabian Groffen]

Haha, I gave you a patch, sorry.

The patch just describes which change you need to make.  If you really
want to have an easy life, then restore the original ebuild (rsync if
you will) and run this:

% patch libinput-1.13.2.ebuild < path/to/the-patch-content.patch

Then you can run ebuild .. digest.

There is a chance the patch won't apply, because I didn't attach it.
In this case I think it's quicker if you "read" the patch yourself, find
the location what the patch is about, and make the change (as indicated
by the lines prefixed with - (removed) and + (added)).

Does this help you?

Fabian
