Creating Patches for Ebuilds

This guide will show you how to:

Create a patch for use with an ebuild
or
Import an existing patch you'd like to add.

Tools Needed:

  • app-portage/abeni version 0.0.18 or later


Steps to import a patch for use in an ebuild:

  1. Run 'abeni', open your ebuild.
  2. Click the save icon on the toolbar
  3. Press F1 to create a digest
  4. Select "Import patch" under the Tools menu
  5. Select the patch file



Steps to create your own patch:

  1. Run 'abeni', open your ebuild.
  2. Click the save icon on the toolbar
  3. Press F1 to create a digest
  4. Press F2 to unpack the source
  5. Select "Create patch in ${S}" under the Tools menu
  6. Select the file you want to create a patch for
  7. Edit file, save and exit.
  8. Enter name of your patch in dialog


Click the save icon and you're ready to emerge the ebuild with your patch.

Note:
The above steps will add a src_unpack() function if it isn't present already and add the appropriate "epatch <patch filename" code, inherit eutils, and copy the patch to your $FILESDIR.

Hilarious! you resurrected a 8 year old post with your 100. post.
Anyway, it was not just for patches, but for creating an ebuild from scratch. Not a bad idea, it was like an IDE for ebuilds.
