Description Brian G. 2019-10-02 11:43:25 UTC
The original author has discontinued development of the SleepyHead software per his public notices:
- https://sleepyhead.jedimark.net/
- https://jedimark.net/2019/02/08/sleepyhead-project-shutdown/

However, development has been forked into the Oscar project:
- https://www.sleepfiles.com/OSCAR/
- https://gitlab.com/pholy/OSCAR-code

The Oscar project should be added to portage and possibly a note given to sleepyhead users indicating that they should consider upgrading to Oscar.

I will begin work to put together an ebuild for Oscar based on the original sleepyhead ebuild.  I will report back soon.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. look for Oscar in portage (not found)
2. try to build sleepyhead (it is older code and may successfully build, but I had it already installed so I didn't try)

Actual Results:  
Oscar was not installed

Expected Results:  
Oscar was available to build.

Ugh, their file naming is terrible and we should port this to EAPI 7, but thanks for the ebuild.  Unless they've expanded hardware support I won't be able to actually test this but I will take a look at this and try to get it in the tree in the next few days.  The next day or two is a bit busy for me, however.

I'll leave this in m-n until I put it in the tree and sign up to maintain it...

Glad to see somebody is now taking care of this upstream, however.

Note: app-misc/sleepyhead has been removed from the repo and all related bugs are closed.  This one will of course remain open.
