Created attachment 458032 [details] proposed ebuild for 1.7.4.2 This did the trick for me. Changed the github organization to lz4 while at it.
Please don't expect the bump anytime soon. The build system is becoming more screwed up every version, and I really have no patience to add more and more hacks to make it build correctly. On the bright side, the unofficial CMake build system is cleaner. However, it seems incomplete to me. Does anyone have a clue whether upstream have any idea of API/ABI stability, and if their SONAMEs make any sense?
Upstream has merged my CMake patches and released 1.7.5! commit 6a55cb7e0f336eb0a3c6a7697931b41a0d7412c0 Author: Michał Górny <mgorny@gentoo.org> AuthorDate: Tue Jan 3 18:27:41 2017 Commit: Michał Górny <mgorny@gentoo.org> CommitDate: Tue Jan 3 18:30:00 2017 app-arch/lz4: Bump to 1.7.5 commit ed6a2132e43a7d9c00b1bbe6b9a14edc6a0c06f0 Author: Michał Górny <mgorny@gentoo.org> AuthorDate: Tue Jan 3 18:13:14 2017 Commit: Michał Górny <mgorny@gentoo.org> CommitDate: Tue Jan 3 18:29:58 2017 app-arch/lz4: update -9999, switch to CMake Update the URLs in the live ebuild and switch it to use the CMake build system. It is free of all fancy things we had to hack around in Makefiles, and links all executables to the shared library. It lacks tests but they were not very useful anyway.
