Or am I missing a simple solution to this? |

Hi; |

At least the last two -r? gentoo-sources ebuilds have had |
12 |
URLs to all the included patch sets. (this is a huge improvement) |
13 |
Im sure agglomerating them into one big patchset is merely a |
14 |
matter of convenience. |
15 |
Keeping them separate would make it a lot easier to |
16 |
engage in the kind of experimentation you are talking about by |
17 |
editing the ebuild... |
18 |
Until/if that ever happens, you can download the patch |
19 |
in question, as specified in the ebuild comment, and use patch -R |
20 |
to remove it, then modify/replace it with another patch... |
