Also check the page where you found the patch carefully. |
| 2 |
Sometimes you can find an updated ebuild that works with |
| 3 |
that patch in the same page, so you don't have to patch it |
| 4 |
yourself. |

You need to examine the patch and clear up whether it's |
| 7 |
a patch for the app or for the ebuild itself. If it's |
| 8 |
a patch for the ebuild you just need to copy the ebuild |
| 9 |
into an overlay and patch it. But if it's a patch for the |
| 10 |
app you need to modify the ebuild so it applies the patch |
| 11 |
to the app after unpacking it and before compiling. |

This is the official documentation about how to correctly |
| 14 |
alter the portage tree so you don't mess up anything. Either |
| 15 |
way you need to create an overlay. That's for sure. |
