Description Konstantin (elxa) 2014-03-09 19:07:11 UTC

znc ebuild does not support user supplied patches in /etc/portage/patches

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. put patches in /etc/portage/patches/net-irc/znc
2. emerge -1 znc
Actual Results:  
patches in /etc/portage/patches are not applied

Expected Results:  
patches in /etc/portage/patches are applied

ZNC times out on some irc networks. I think these patches might help, but I had to copy & patch the znc ebuild to a local overlay to use these patches from /etc/portage/patches:

I've tested all the ebuilds in the tree and they apply user patches correctly.

Please make sure your patches are in
/etc/portage/patches/net-irc/znc/
with proper permissions.

Note that your files must end in ".patch" otherwise portage will ignore them.
