Looks like upstream moved...
Created attachment 664609 [details] dev-libs/hidapi live ebuild For development purposes I need a recent dev-libs/hidapi version. This live ebuild is based on 0.9 ebuild from the pull request. Upcoming 0.10 version is fixing at least one major problem¹ that I need to be fixed. ¹ https://github.com/libusb/hidapi/commit/fa75ffb
dev-libs/hidapi version 0.10.0 has been released. Updated ebuilds for 0.10.0 and 9999 versions can be found in my overlay⁽³⁾ with following changes : - Added subslot operator for x11-libs/fox. - Added BDEPEND. - Removed old fix from bug #494090⁽¹⁾ useless after upstream commit 99d0219 ⁽²⁾. Please note that fox useflag is currently masked in profiles : > $ grep -C 3 hidapi "$(portageq get_repo_path / gentoo)/profiles/base/package.use.mask" > # Michał Górny <mgorny@gentoo.org> (2019-12-16) > # Requires old x11-libs/fox:1.6 slot. > dev-games/openscenegraph fox > dev-libs/hidapi fox > sci-mathematics/gsl-shell fox > sys-libs/gwenhywfar fox I think it can be unmasked. New hidapi can be built against x11-libs/fox:1.7. Feel free to copy ebuilds and do pull request, I don't have time for that. I think dev-libs/hidapi should be bumped directly to 0.10. Like I said in comment #3 it solves many bugs from 0.9.0. 1. https://bugs.gentoo.org/494090 2. https://github.com/libusb/hidapi/commit/99d0219 3. https://github.com/netfab/overlay/tree/master/dev-libs/hidapi
