https://sourceforge.net/projects/mjpg-streamer/:

===============================================================
Project abandoned! Sorry, I havent found the time to keep this project updated. Please see 
https://github.com/jacksonliam/mjpg-streamer 
for the designated sucessor site. 
===============================================================

Looks to me if we could use it right for a bump.
Just need to convince upstream to use tags.

Any chance the ebuild could be updated? It's also missing a systemd unit file.

Adrian, would that https://github.com/jacksonliam/mjpg-streamer/blob/master/mjpg-streamer-experimental/mjpg_streamer%40.service
work for you as a systemd unit file? I'm not a gentoo systemd user, so not real candidate to test.
Comment 3 Adrian 2020-05-22 21:39:19 UTC
Looks reasonable. Not sure if a new user is needed; `nobody` seems good enough for this since all it needs is the `video` group to have access to video devices.


This is what I'm using right now but I guess there's no good way besides a custom drop-in config if I want to override any of the arguments..

```
