 working in the portage tree If I want to work on a package that I am having problems with ... say I want to try to create a patch to fix a bug ... What is the best way to go about that? With BSD ports, I would go in to the port directory and do a "make extract" or "make patch" then hack around in the tree for a while then go back to the port directory and do "make" or "make install". I figured out that I could do "emerge" then hit ctrl-c after it is done extracting, then hack around and do "emerge --resume". That works, but it seems I must just be missing a better way. Any tips?      |

| Re: working in the portage tree Check out man ebuild. You can do the merge in stages. Or create a /usr/local/portage directory, uncomment the line in /etc/make.conf about using a local portage directory and then copy the existing ebuild directory to the local one. Put your patch in the files directory and modify the ebuild to patch it.
