> I would create an overlay directory and copy to ebuilds there, that way you can version bump your overlay as the main portage tree gets updated. Of course, if your manually applied patches may be of use to others then you should probably file bugs at bugs.gentoo.org. Remember that patches that may not be desired by everyone should utilise a local USE flag to control patching. -- Tom Wesley <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
