Description Sergey S. Starikoff 2016-11-27 09:24:49 UTC
Reminding ebuild write skills in man 5 ebuild I was a little bit confused:

man 5 ebuild:
…
       src_unpack
              This function is used to unpack all the sources in A to WORKDIR.  If not defined in the ebuild script
              it calls unpack ${A}. Any patches and other pre configure/compile modifications should be done here.
              Initial working directory: $WORKDIR

       src_prepare
              All preparation of source code, such as application of patches, should be done here. This function is
              supported beginning with EAPI 2.
              Initial working directory: $S
…


Probably src_unpack description should contain notes, that applying patches here should be done only whe using legacy EAPI 0 or EAPI 1. Or completely remove note about applying patches on this phase.

Excuse me my English, that is why I don't suggest patch.
