17 Try this sequence:
18
19 1. Start xterm.
20 2. type "cd /usr/portage/x11-terms/gnome-terminal".
21 3. "nano files/gconf.patch".
22 4. Switch to browser, select the lines of the patch (everything from
23 below the equal-sign-line to html horizontal separator).
24 5. Middle-click xterm window should paste the patch there.
25 6. Switch to xterm, Ctrl+O, Enter (Save). Ctrl+X (Quit).
26 7. "nano gnome-terminal-XXX.ebuild" where XXX is desired version number.
27 8. Put the following line inside braces below "gnome_src_unpack" line:
28 epatch "${FILESDIR}/gconf.patch"
29 9. Ctrl+O, Enter (Save). Ctrl+X (Quit).
30 10. "repoman manifest".
31 11. "emerge gnome-terminal"
32
33 Congrats, you've created your own patched ebuild ;)
34 Homework: put it into local overlay so it won't be wiped on sync.
