Subject:   patching recode for pybliographer
Message-ID:  <1039021488.61750.12.camel@x74-47.forestry.umn.edu>

I have a patch that should fix a build problem with one of freebsd's
ports, pybliographer. The patch needs to be applied to recode-3.6_1 to
make it compatable with pybliographer (which requires recode 3.5
exactly). I want to test this patch out on my system, to see if it does
all it claims to do...

Problem is, I confused over how to apply a patch to something in the
ports system. My ports tree is up to date, but I dont't see the source
in /usr/ports/converters/recode that the patch should be applied to.
Also, running "file" on /usr/ports/distfiles/recode-3.6.tar.gz returns
"file is empty". I thought that I could unpack the tarball manually
apply the patch, then tar it back up and build the port. I seem to be
all wet on this. 

Can anyone get me started on this noble errand?

Thanks,
