Description Michał Górny archtester Gentoo Infrastructure gentoo-dev Security 2019-10-05 10:29:10 UTC 
According to Repology, the current upstream release is 1.1.  Please bump.
Comment 1 Fulgurance 2020-08-04 10:15:43 UTC 
Okay, thanks you, sorry for this advice
Comment 2 Fulgurance 2020-08-17 06:04:33 UTC 
Sorry for waiting time, i have made pull request to bump to 1.1 version
Comment 3 Fulgurance 2020-08-17 11:02:36 UTC 
Hum, i have looked, but sorry, i think you are confused with other software, this msi-keyboard software have just one only version, look: https://github.com/makkarpov/msi-keyboard/releases

According to repology, as they said in the bug: https://repology.org/project/msi-keyboard/versions
Comment 5 Fulgurance 2020-08-19 08:04:03 UTC 
It's not the same program, my ebuild come from makkarpov developer: https://www.google.com/url?q=https://github.com/makkarpov/msi-keyboard&sa=U&ved=2ahUKEwjNzPGF56brAhUC4YUKHYZSByEQFjAAegQIABAB&usg=AOvVaw18AjcnxqT1EEMaA0zK9OdF
for example Ubuntu come from this repository: https://github.com/bparker06/msi-keyboard/
Comment 6 Fulgurance 2020-10-25 09:56:47 UTC 
I have question, why this ebuild have resquest to found proxy maintainer ? I maintain this package.
Comment 7 Ilja ”Zucca” Sara 2020-10-25 11:15:25 UTC 
I'm with Fulgurance on this.
These two projects are not the same except for the name.

Let's look at the commit dates for each:

makkarpov/msi-keyboard 1.0 on Feb 4, 2018

bparker06/msi-keyboard 1.1 on Mar 27, 2016

And also these two projects have different license.

Maybe change the package/ebuild name to avoid this confusion between these two projects?
Comment 8 Michał Górny archtester Gentoo Infrastructure gentoo-dev Security 2020-10-25 12:59:52 UTC 
I've reported the problem to repology.
Comment 9 Fulgurance 2020-10-25 14:12:36 UTC 
Mmmmh ...yes i think it's good solution to rename it, but what name ?
Comment 10 Ilja ”Zucca” Sara 2020-10-25 19:22:57 UTC 
Maybe the simplest would be: msi-keyboard-makkarpov
Comment 11 Andreas Sturmlechner gentoo-dev 2020-10-26 09:00:02 UTC 
Does that mean Gentoo is using an unofficial fork, or did two completely independent upstream developers come up with exactly the same name by chance?

The latter, I think, though it may have some obscure common inspiration.  If you search for 'msi', you'll discover that a lot of people have reinvented the wheel under different names.
