I have just done emerge gentoo-sources, but I want to add the crypto patch to it, how do I do that?

And yes, I could just use crypto-sources, but I wont learn much from that.

most (nearly all) patches are applied with 'patch -p0 </patch/file'. for applying a kernel patch you have to be in /usr/src/ when running this command. also have a look at the patch manpage...

hope this works

start with reading the crypto-sources/XXXXXX.ebuild
there you can see what's included in that patch and how it's done.
