No offense meant, but if you don't already know how to apply a patch then you probably shouldn't be looking at doing so. Having said that, here's a brief rundown.

The patch is applied to the source code, so you'll need a full SDK setup. The patch is then applied using GNU patch:
Code:
patch -p1 < file.patch
You can then build a patched version of the package to install.
