First of all, I would suggest copying the original ebuild to /usr/local/portage/app-office/openoffice (or wherever you keep your overlay), along with any files in the /files folder (and the folder itself) in Portage (so if the build is normally patched by Gentoo, those patches are available to the overlay build as well). I would then revise the ebuild to change the name to something that specifies that this is your ebuild and not the one in portage (openoffice-1.1.4-ut, or whatever. IIrc, you also have to edit the header of the ebuild to conform with the new name, and possibly also the 'name' of the tarball within the ebuild, if you change the tarball name). Tar up your revised source (you might have to/want to name it OOo_1.1.4_source-ut.tar.gz, which wouldn't be a bad idea in any case) in /usr/portage/distfiles. Then digest the overlay ebuild with ebuild /usr/local/portage/app-office/openoffice/openoffice-1.1.4-ut.ebuild digest This will create a manifest using the newly-generated checksum for your ebuild and tarball. Emerge OOo normally-- since your ebuild is newer than the one in Portage, it should be the one emerged. These instructions should be generally valid, but possibly inexact, since I don't do this that often, but I've done it often enough to generally remember how it's done when necessary. Of course all this pre-supposes that you have an overlay set up in your /etc/make.conf, but I would imagine that you do, if you're making these sort of adjustments for upstream programs.
