8 You don't need that. In fact I wouldn't be surprised if you broke
9 something by doing that. Undo the change. Putting the patch into:
10
11
12 /etc/portage/patches/media-sound/audacity-2.1.3-r1/TrackPanel-Track-GetRate.patch
13
14 is enough.

16 The user patches are applied automatically when the ebuild in question
17 uses EAPI 6, or it inherits eutils. audacity-2.1.3-r1.ebuild does the
18 latter.
19
20 When emerging, you will see this in the log:
21
22 Applying user patches
23 TrackPanel-Track-GetRate.patch
24
25 That's how you know it's working. If the build still fails, it's not due
26 to the patch not having been applied. It's that the patch didn't
27 actually fix your issue.
