How to create the manifest

$ pkgdev manifest

Patching (https://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic-t-1093700-start-0.html)

Usually I follow these steps (I use less package as example)

• unpack package ebuild /usr/portage/sys-apps/less/less-531.ebuild unpack;
• duplicate source code cp -r /var/tmp/portage/sys-apps/less-531/work/less-531/ /var/tmp/portage/sys-apps/less-531/work/less-531.orig
• go in to source directory cd /var/tmp/portage/sys-apps/less-531/work/less-531/ and change necessary files
• go in work directory cd /var/tmp/portage/sys-apps/less-531/work/
• and finally create patch diff -Naru less-531.orig less-531 > your_patch_files.patch

Random build

Is a chaos monkey approach to keep checking the relevant packages.
