31 The bad way would be to
32 issue "ebuild /usr/portage/net-misc/vde/vde-1.5.8.ebuild digest" to
33 rigenerate the meta-info, and re-emerge vde.
34
35 The better way is to use an overlay (eg, /usr/local/portage), copy the
36 ebuild there, modify it and run the above commands on _that_ copy of the
37 ebuild. See here for more info about portage overlays:

41 http://gentoo-wiki.com/HOWTO_Installing_3rd_Party_Ebuilds
42 (your modified ebuild becomes sort of a "3rd party" ebuild)
43
44 And don't forget to file a bug with the results.
