I hit the "view raw" link and used save as... I then copied it into the "files" subdirectoy and portage threw a hissy fit and refused to do anything because letting the user patch a package is simply unthinkable!!! A mere USER, applying a custom patch to one of our immaculate packages on HIS OWN COMPUTER??!?!?! UNTHINKABLE!!! So it doesn't flash a warning, or a "are you sure?????", it just barfs and quits. I then mv ..'d it. and portage completely ignores the file. Doesn't match any of the versions I have anyway.
Which gets me back to how wise I was for version-freezing myself at 4.6.7... And yes, I am continuing to call my Ryzen 1800x "tortoise". =P ### tortoise nvidia-drivers # ls -l total 268 -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 10392 Apr 5 12:42 378.09-4.10-rc8.patch drwxr-xr-x 2 portage portage 4096 Apr 5 12:43 files -rw-r--r-- 1 portage portage 32304 Mar 30 03:29 Manifest -rw-r--r-- 1 portage portage 1250 Mar 30 03:27 metadata.xml -rw-r--r-- 1 portage portage 16490 Feb 28 14:50 nvidia-drivers-173.14.39-r1.ebuild -rw-r--r-- 1 portage portage 16476 Feb 28 14:50 nvidia-drivers-173.14.39-r2.ebuild -rw-r--r-- 1 portage portage 13327 Feb 28 14:50 nvidia-drivers-304.134.ebuild -rw-r--r-- 1 portage portage 13412 Feb 28 14:50 nvidia-drivers-304.134-r1.ebuild -rw-r--r-- 1 portage portage 13410 Mar 30 03:29 nvidia-drivers-304.135.ebuild -rw-r--r-- 1 portage portage 14460 Feb 28 14:50 nvidia-drivers-340.101.ebuild -rw-r--r-- 1 portage portage 14525 Feb 28 14:50 nvidia-drivers-340.101-r1.ebuild -rw-r--r-- 1 portage portage 14523 Mar 30 03:29 nvidia-drivers-340.102.ebuild -rw-r--r-- 1 portage portage 15425 Feb 28 14:50 nvidia-drivers-375.26.ebuild -rw-r--r-- 1 portage portage 15613 Feb 28 14:50 nvidia-drivers-375.26-r3.ebuild -rw-r--r-- 1 portage portage 15611 Mar 30 03:29 nvidia-drivers-375.39.ebuild -rw-r--r-- 1 portage portage 15676 Mar 30 03:29 nvidia-drivers-378.13.ebuild -rw-r--r-- 1 portage portage 14755 Feb 28 14:50 nvidia-drivers-96.43.23-r1.ebuild tortoise nvidia-drivers # Fabio Scaccabarozzi wrote: > > You can drop it in /etc/portage/patches/x11-drivers/nvidia-drivers > folder, portage should take care of the rest when you emerge the > package.
