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, -- Kirk R.
