I assume you're talking about the patch "Patch for |
| 7 |
ati-drivers-8.20.8.ebuild" at |
| 8 |
http://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=112427 |

To give you a hint, you need to either: |
| 11 |
1. apply the patch to /usr/portage/x11-drivers/ati-drivers/ |
| 12 |
|
| 13 |
but this will be overwritten next time you sync. or |
| 14 |
|
| 15 |
2. put it into your portage overlay. |
| 16 |
Make /usr/local/portage/x11-drivers/ati-drivers; copy the |
| 17 |
ati-drivers-8.22.5.ebuild original to /usr/local/portage... and apply |
| 18 |
the patch there. |
| 19 |
|
| 20 |
If you copy the digest files from the original ati-drivers dir to the |
| 21 |
overlay dir, you should be able to then `emerge -pv ati-drivers`. You |
| 22 |
will see: |
| 23 |
|
| 24 |
[ebuild R ] x11-drivers/ati-drivers-8.22.5 USE="opengl" 0 kB [1] |
| 25 |
|
| 26 |
Total size of downloads: 0 kB |
| 27 |
Portage overlays: |
| 28 |
[1] /usr/local/portage |
| 29 |
|
| 30 |
You will see the [1] reference to the overlay. If it complains about |
| 31 |
bad md5sums or digests, you can try and fix it by playing with 'ebuild |
| 32 |
digest ...' or doing the md5sums by hand. |
| 33 |
|
| 34 |
Sorry if this is a bit rushed, post back with whatever step you get up |
| 35 |
to and I can give you more help from there. |
