First of all, I would suggest copying the original ebuild to |
| 24 |
/usr/local/portage/app-office/openoffice (or wherever you keep your |
| 25 |
overlay), along with any files in the /files folder (and the folder |
| 26 |
itself) in Portage (so if the build is normally patched by Gentoo, those |
| 27 |
patches are available to the overlay build as well). |
| 28 |
|
| 29 |
I would then revise the ebuild to change the name to something that |
| 30 |
specifies that this is your ebuild and not the one in portage |
| 31 |
(openoffice-1.1.4-ut, or whatever. IIrc, you also have to edit the |
| 32 |
header of the ebuild to conform with the new name, and possibly also the |
| 33 |
'name' of the tarball within the ebuild, if you change the tarball name). |
| 34 |
|
| 35 |
Tar up your revised source (you might have to/want to name it |
| 36 |
OOo_1.1.4_source-ut.tar.gz, which wouldn't be a bad idea in any case) in |
| 37 |
/usr/portage/distfiles. |
| 38 |
|
| 39 |
Then digest the overlay ebuild with |
| 40 |
|
| 41 |
ebuild |
| 42 |
/usr/local/portage/app-office/openoffice/openoffice-1.1.4-ut.ebuild digest |
| 43 |
|
| 44 |
This will create a manifest using the newly-generated checksum for your |
| 45 |
ebuild and tarball. |
| 46 |
|
| 47 |
Emerge OOo normally-- since your ebuild is newer than the one in |
| 48 |
Portage, it should be the one emerged. |
| 49 |
|
| 50 |
These instructions should be generally valid, but possibly inexact, |
| 51 |
since I don't do this that often, but I've done it often enough to |
| 52 |
generally remember how it's done when necessary. |
| 53 |
|
| 54 |
Of course all this pre-supposes that you have an overlay set up in your |
| 55 |
/etc/make.conf, but I would imagine that you do, if you're making these |
| 56 |
sort of adjustments for upstream programs. |
