well, how confident are you at having a go? Search the wiki for |
| 7 |
"portage overlay". Essentially it involves making a directory |
| 8 |
(like /usr/local/portage) and putting modified ebuilds in there. |

You only have to copy as much or as little of /usr/portage as you like, |
| 11 |
that may only be 2 or 3 files. |

The patching itself is done with the `patch` command line tool. man |
| 14 |
patch will give you more help there. Usually its `patch -px <patchfile` |
| 15 |
|
| 16 |
The reason for adding it to the overlay (your other option is patching |
| 17 |
straight to /usr/portage) is because /usr/portage will be overwritten by |
| 18 |
the next emerge --sync. |

Hope this gives you a head start, post back if you need more info. |
