yes, it's really very simple to patch a package with gentoo's
ebuilds, you just add an "epatch" line, recreate the digests that
check source integrity before going ahead, then rerun the emerge
command which will compile and install the package.
That you do only once, then it's just: emerge <pkgname> to rebuild
you custom version.
It automates a lot of what you'd normally have to do to install an
modified package on other systems.
Since embedded systems are inherently specials that need tweeks and
patches, I think this approach has a lot to offer.
Nice one Chris.
