 |
|
Hi,
I need to increase MaxClients of apache 2.0.50 to let's say 500.
I would normally edit httpd.h and recompile it if I would compile it by hand.
But I would like to use emerge 
How to tell emerge that I want to edit this file or how to edit it so that emerge would compile it with my changes?
Or, basically:
HOW TO EDIT ANY FILE IN A PACKAGE BEFORE IT IS COMPILED BY EMERGE?
Thanks,
roymaster |

Adding a custom patch mini-HOWTO:
| Code: | mkdir /root/tempdir
ebuild /path/to/apache.version.x.ebuild unpack
mv /var/tmp/portage/apache-version.x /root/tempdir/apache-version.x-orig
ebuild /path/to/apache.version.x.ebuild unpack
mv /var/tmp/portage/apache-version.x /root/tempdir/apache-version.x-new |
Then edit httpd.h in the -new directory. After being done,
| Code: | cd /root/tempdir
diff -Naur apache-version.x-orig apache-version.x-new > my-patch.diff |
Copy the ebuild to your overlay as you normally would, copy the diff to the files subdirectory there, edit the ebuild and add an "epatch ${FILESDIR}/my-patch.diff" line to the src_unpack() function, run | Code: | | ebuild /path/to/your/overlay/apache-version.x.ebuild digest |
and you can emerge it.
