Hi: I would like to apply a patch to a source tree and rebuild a port. The patch is only for a file in the source tree. What I did was I applied the patch, using `patch' command and ran `make'. It looked like `make' removed my source tree, created a new one based on the .tar.gz file in the `distfiles' directory, and spent a couple of hours building the `old' port from scratch. Does `make' always unpack the `.tar.gz' file every time? Is there a way around this? Better yet, what is a correct way to build from a patched source tree? Thank you very much, Suttipan Limanond.
