6 If you are trying to patch the ebuild itself:
7
8 Download the patch file
9 cd to the directory containing the ewbuild
10 patch -p0 <patchfile
11
12 man patch explains this. When you modifiy an ebuild you have to generate
13 new digests; either "ebuild foo.ebuild digest" or use the --digest option
14 when emerging it. The latter is not advised when emerge is also installing
15 dependencies.
