You're saying that i can emerge mutt, run epatch command and then re-emerge and assumes the patch? It sounds crazy for me, maybe i don't understand. > epatch ${FILESDIR}/cool-all-mutt.patch I see that command in ebuilds, but where is it? I can't find it in my installation, but somewhere must be since it gets used. > If the patch is large or publicly available, you are better NOT to put > it in the portage tree but have it downloaded from a mirror with e > SRC_URI command. If you want an example of this take a look at the > vlc-0.8.2-r1 ebuild (chosen by me cos I was unsuccessfully hacking it > the other day) I don't understand this either, if i put something un *my* portage tree the mirrors get infested?
