[AG-TECH] [Patch] Big Linux fixup patch

[Ti Leggett]

Well there's already a few patches that get applied, so what you should
do is get the source tar ball that we use:

emerge --fetchonly ag-media/rat

Untar the tar ball somewhere:

cd <somewhere>
tar zxvf /usr/portage/distfiles/ag-media-2.2.tar.gz

Look for the order in which to apply current patch:

less ${PORTDIR_OVERLAY}/ag-media/rat/rat-4.2.22-r3.ebuild (look for
epatch lines)

Apply the patches:

cd <somewhere>/ag-media
patch -p0 ${PORTDIR_OVERLAY}/ag-media/rat/files/<patch1>
patch -p0 ...

Then apply whatever patch this is and see if it goes cleanly.
