 |
|
I want to emerge Xfree and leave the build tree so that I can apply driver patches. Is there a parameter I can pass to emerge or what is the best way to do this?
Thanks,
John |

Ebuild is a program for executing certain parts of an ebuild.
So in your case, you would:
| Code: | | # ebuild <path to your xfree ebuild> unpack |
Then go into the directory (It'll be in /var/tmp/portage somewhere), apply your patches, then:
| Code: | | # ebuild <path to xfree ebuild> merge |
And all going to plan, bob should be your uncle  |

Thanks. That sounds like a better approach than what I did. I added noclean to the FEATURES in make.conf, ran emerge and applied patched. Then did a make world and make install.
Other than building xfree twice, I guess I achieved the same result.
Thanks Again,
John |
