[gentoo-user] modifying locally an ebuild

[Fernando Canizo]

Hi all, 

I find a cute patch to mutt and to use it i modified the ebuild and
the pertinent files so now re-emerging mutt builds mutt with this
patch. Later i fixed the actual version of mutt so an upgrade cannot
erase it.

What i would like to know is how can i do this i a 'gentoo way'. I
have listen that there are something called SLOTs, but never used so
far (never need them?)

Or the only way is to propose the add of the patch to portage?
