This module is needed for msort (which was requested here: http://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=154528) Reproducible: Always
Upstream is still alive but has gone through a lot of changes, including a complete handover to another development team. For more information, please see https://github.com/JuliaLang/utf8proc . Anyway, I would say this bug is a WONTFIX candidate. Seems there was never enough interest in having utf8proc included to actually provide an ebuild file, we have got dev-libs/icu, and this is no longer a blocker for #154528 because since 2008 msort can use ICU instead.
While this is still a viable package for the Gentoo Portage tree it appears this ebuild is lacking in community interest. If you (or another user) are still wanting this to make it into the Portage tree please let us know! It would be additionally helpful (but not required) if you were willing to help out with the package by becoming it's proxied maintainer; you have already done most of the work for this task. Gentoo even has a dedicated team[1] for assisting users in becoming proxied maintainers. If you are interested in maintaining this package, please contact proxy-maint@gentoo.org or join #gentoo-proxy-maint on Freenode IRC. If this bug remains silent without further comments for 30 days i will close it with the resolution of WONTFIX. Beyond that the bug can always be reopened to get this package back on track for the Gentoo Portage tree. [1]: https://wiki.gentoo.org/index.php?title=Project:Proxy_Maintainers Marek Szuba
