The best way to do this is to modify the ebuild to apply the patch. |
| 8 |
|
| 9 |
Copy the existing cyrus-imapd directory from /usr/portage to your |
| 10 |
overlay. |
| 11 |
|
| 12 |
Copy the patch to the files subdirectory of that new directory |
| 13 |
|
| 14 |
Open the copied ebuild in your text editor. you'll see an epatch line in |
| 15 |
the src_unpack section, add another one with the name of your patch. |
| 16 |
|
| 17 |
Run "ebuild cyrus-imapd-version.ebuild digest" |
| 18 |
|
| 19 |
Emerge it. |
| 20 |
|
| 21 |
If the patch may be useful to others, file a report on bugs.g.o. |
