Description Esther Payne 2024-05-10 13:21:32 UTC

Hi Please find attached ebuilds for lcrq, liblibrecast and lcsync.

Librecast is a project to provide fast, efficient and scalable communication by leveraging IPv6 multicast. 

We have 3 ebuilds for our sub projects.

lcrq: RaptorQ (RFC6330) FEC library
https://librecast.net/lcrq.html
https://repology.org/project/lcrq/versions
Note: lcrq is a dependency for librecast.

Librecast: core IPv6 multicast library 
https://librecast.net/librecast.html
https://repology.org/project/librecast/versions

lcsync: Multicast File syncing Tool
https://librecast.net/lcsync.html
https://repology.org/project/lcsync/versions
Note librecast is a dependency for lcsync

Librecast is already packaged for debian, guix and NixOS.

Brett Sheffield (Main developer of Librecast) and Claudio Calvelli (wrote the ebuilds) both run on gentoo.  The code is developed on gentoo systems.  We would love for librecast to be included in gentoo.

Having written these unofficial ebuilds, and having sent bug reports and patches here before, I would like to volunteer to help with this.
I am not a gentoo developer but I can certainly answer queries about these packages and the way they build, possibly taking advantage of the proxy maintainer project.
Anyway let me know if I can do anything to help.
