Would it be possible to get the ebuild for pps-tools updated? The current ebuild refers to a repo that doesn't exist anymore. The repo has been moved to here: https://github.com/redlab-i/pps-tools. There are some minor improvements to the code in the new repo, and as a bonus the new repo offers actual release numbers. Thanks, Denny
Thank you for the bump request. You can help the maintainer with further information: Does a simple bump [1] work on your system? Chances are high, because a first look on the bump revealed only small changes. [1] https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/Custom_repository#Simple_version_bump_of_an_ebuild_in_the_local_overlay ps: http://linuxpps.org/mediawiki/index.php/LinuxPPS_installation reads: "As of kernel 2.6.34 there is no need for patching to get basic LinuxPPS support working. You can use kernel.org 2.6.34 directly." Does this mean this package does not help users with a newer kernel?
Okay, sorry for the delay. I have the new version working with local overlay. I will attach the updated files (pps-tools-1.0.1.ebuild files/pps-tools-1.0.1.patch metadata.xml) to this report. With regard to the comment about patching... PPS was distributed as a set of kernel patches for a long time. As of 2.6.34, the patches were incorporated into the kernel. However, the user space tools are distributed separately, and are the reason for this ebuild to exist.

Thank you for patches. However, I bumped the ebuild to EAPI=6 and respined the patches by myself.
