So you want to apply a patch to the version already on portage? |

You have two options. If the ebuild supports it, put the patch file |
| 13 |
in /etc/portage/vat/pkg-version/ and re-emerge it. Many ebuild will pick |
| 14 |
up user patches like this. |

Alternatively, run "ebuild prepare /path/to/ebuild" to unpack the source |
| 17 |
and apply any existing patches. It will tell you where it unpacked the |
| 18 |
code, go there and apply your patch, then run "ebuild |
| 19 |
merge /path/to/ebuild" to compile and install it. |

I have seen things you lusers would not believe. |
| 26 |
I've seen Sun monitors on fire off the side of the multimedia lab. |
| 27 |
I've seen NTU lights glitter in the dark near the Mail Gate. |

All these things will be lost in time, like the root partition last |
| 29 |
week. Time to die. |
