Correct app-arch/zopfli homepage link is https://github.com/google/zopfli Reproducible: Always
You want me ' us to just update HOMEPAGE with that link or you intending to make a simple patch which I agree is possibly overkill
By now both repos has exact release versions, but google version has more new commits. So, by now you can change only link. But new release will be on goolge repo first.

I will upload a new ebuild. (In reply to RazrFalcon from comment #2) > By now both repos has exact release versions, but google version has more > new commits. So, by now you can change only link.

The ideal action from this ticket would be to rebase and send a pull request with the required patches on the Hello71 repository to the google one. Then create a new ebuild based on the current state of the master after that. There's no reason for there to be a fork anymore since the Google repository is again maintained and accepting patches.
*** Bug 574452 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. ***
Any progress here? Formally there is a 1.0.1 release in the Google repository from August 2015.
Things are still at a standstill. The merge from Hello71's fork failed because it was approached as an all or nothing, so the Google maintainer chose to do nothing. A few subsequent pull requests have tried to re-implement some of the missing pieces in smaller requests with some success. I can get a 1.0.1 ebuild made and submitted to the tree, so we can start tracking the Google repository again. But if anyone is using zopfli as a library rather than just a program. They might find the next update will change/break that functionality. Perhaps that's a non-issue though. I'm personally not aware of anything that uses zopfli as a library and would break because of that change. I'll start work on the new ebuild.
Pull request for version bump to 1.0.1 is available on GitHub: https://github.com/gentoo/gentoo/pull/920 Testing, comments and criticisms are always welcome.
