I'm trying to compile games-strategy/boswars-2.6.1 on amd64. But it lacks /usr/portage/games-strategy/boswars/files/boswars-2.6.1-gentoo.patch, required in ebuild file. I'm not sure about this problem in other plattaforms, but I've looked at a i386 machine and not found this file too. My error log >>> Emerging (1 of 1) games-strategy/boswars-2.6.1 * boswars-2.6.1-src.tar.gz RMD160 SHA1 SHA256 size ;-) ... [ ok ] * bos.png RMD160 SHA1 SHA256 size ;-) ...

that's because I whacked the wrong file. fixed.
