A large variety of asus laptops can use the touchpad both as a mouse emulator or a numpad keypad. switching between these modes may be provided by a special software at the url reported above. This software works well on my ZenBook UX363EA_UX371EA laptop. In the attachment, I provide a working ebuild to install the driver. I propose the app-laptop/ category. Actually, the ebuild downloads a static copy of commit d80980af6ef776ee6acf42c193689f207caa7968 of the original software. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. emerge app-laptop/asus-touchpad-numpad-driver 2. systemctl enable asus-touchpad numpad driver 3. systemctl start asus-touchpad-numpad-driver Actual Results: your asus touch switchs from touchpad to numpad mode.

Thank you for your contribution. I had a short look on the ebuild. Here a few ideas: * Please test the ebuild with repoman full -d -x https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/Repoman and pkgcheck scan --net * SRC_URI="https://github.com/cloc3/portage/raw/main/distfiles/${P}.zip" would require a dependency on unzip hence we always use tar.gz if possible * Why do HOMEPAGE and SRC_URI differ? HOMEPAGE="https://github.com/mohamed-badaoui/asus-touchpad-numpad-driver" SRC_URI="https://github.com/cloc3/portage/raw/main/distfiles/${P}.zip"

RepoMan sez: "If everyone were like you, I'd be out of business!" pkgscan gives some issues. I'll come later with a fix, but I need an explanation about your second issue: > * Why do HOMEPAGE and SRC_URI differ? > HOMEPAGE="https://github.com/mohamed-badaoui/asus-touchpad-numpad-driver" > SRC_URI="https://github.com/cloc3/portage/raw/main/distfiles/${P}.zip" I'm not a gentoo developer, but I see that often the HOMEPAGE differs from SRC_URI in gentoo ebuilds. For examples: sci-visualization/xd3d/xd3d-8.3.1-r1.ebuild HOMEPAGE="http://www.cmap.polytechnique.fr/~jouve/xd3d/" SRC_URI="mirror://gentoo/${P}.tar.gz" So, I've done something similar for my ebuild. I downloaded sources from homepage github in zip format (commit d80980af6ef776ee6acf42c193689f207caa7968) and I put them in a kind of personal "mirror" as a static copy of the original. That's also the reason because sources are not a tar.gz archive. So, what exactly is the proper way to do here?
