It's a little more complex than that; you need to set up an overlay |
| 20 |
(look for docs on www.gentoo.org), add the patch to the files |
| 21 |
directory, modify the ebuild to include the patch in src_unpack(), |
| 22 |
rebuild the digest, then emerge again. |
| 23 |
|
| 24 |
An easier way to do it as a one-off process is to: |
| 25 |
|
| 26 |
first save Andre's patch from bug #133301 to somewhere |
| 27 |
|
| 28 |
# ebuild /usr/portage/x11-libs/qt/qt-3.3.6-r1.ebuild unpack |
| 29 |
# cd /var/tmp/portage/qt-3.3.6-r1/work/qt-x11-free-3.3.6 |
| 30 |
# patch -p1 < [patch saved from bug] |
| 31 |
# cd |
| 32 |
# ebuild /usr/portage/x11-libs/qt/qt-3.3.6-r1.ebuild merge |
| 33 |
|
| 34 |
just note that if you emerge qt-3.3.6-r1 again later, the change will |
| 35 |
be lost - but you're not likely to do that soon. |

Because you still have lots of stuff built that needs it - if merging |
| 41 |
qt4 deleted qt3, everything you have that links to qt3 (i.e. all |
| 42 |
of KDE!) would fail to run because qt3 would be missing. |

The version of qt used by kde-3.5 is qt3 - it specifically links to |
| 48 |
qt3, rather than to "latest version". |

It just means you can have more than one version of a package installed |
| 57 |
at the same time. |
