One doesn't need to perform these steps explicitly; when one performs |
| 13 |
a command like merge, ebuild also performs all commands that |
| 14 |
normally precede merge. |

| 16 |
So I think that if he wants to tweak the source code before compiling, |
| 17 |
the easier way would be to issue a unpack command, tweak the source, |
| 18 |
then issue a merge command. |

But I think it would be much better to write a patch, |
| 21 |
or simply modify the distfile and create a new ebuild that |
| 22 |
uses the modified distfile. |
