Please update.

And more on the topic of uchardet support in general.

Rion, Nikoli are you planning to continue actively support this ebuild in Gentoo?

[Comment 2 Sergey Ilinykh 2015-12-22 07:35:19 UTC]

it's SRC_URI that should be changed.

current version is 0.0.5 we have just bump ebuild.

Yes, you are right. Sorry, my mistake.

Yes, please. There is a separate bug for that: bug #569110

[Comment 5 Ian Delaney (RETIRED) 2015-12-27 08:11:08 UTC]

We still need a clearly stilpulated new SRC_URI. Is it sourced form the HOMEPAGE https://github.com/BYVoid/ or is it mirrored from github?

Rion, you've not acted in any way on this bug, except for your initial comment.

Can you please give a straight answer whether you are planning to participate in uchardet maintaining or not?

[Comment 9 Sergey Ilinykh 2016-02-02 03:41:57 UTC]

I am not planning. I honestly don't understand all this proxy-maintaning stuff.
And I don't remember why I was agreed at all. Putting ebuilds into personal overlay is much easier.

I see.

If you are interested, the general info can be found at https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/Project:Proxy_Maintainers.

Key differences of proxy-maintaining compared to personal overlay are:
sharing your work with the rest of the Gentoo community in a more standardized and 'official' manner, and support from Gentoo devs when you need it.
