Can you share your patch?

Also, what distribution?  The answers are quite different depending.

The safest procedure for this (assuming you're using an rpm-based
distribution) is to install the source rpm from your distribution,
increment the release number or the version number, add your patch to
the list of patches and to the %prep section of the spec file and
re-build.

There is some reasonably good documentation for RPM here:
