net-vpn/miredo doesn't work when default/linux/amd64/17.1/systemd profile is used Because it installs unit file miredo.service into /usr/lib64/systemd/system/ I think it should be installed to /lib/systemd/system/ instead. Related bug: https://bugs.gentoo.org/506276
Probably in miredo-1.2.6/misc/Makefile.in this line systemddir = $(libdir)/systemd/system should be replaced with this line systemddir = /lib/systemd/system
Temporary fix: pre_src_install() { sed --in-place 's/^systemddir = $(libdir)/systemddir = \/lib/g' \ "${S}"/misc/Makefile.in }
Please confirm.
The correct solution is to use the standard snippet in configure.ac that uses pkg-config to grab that directory and provides option overrides. That said, the package hasn't seen a release since 2013, upstream activity since 2014, and Gentoo maintainer activity since 2013. No revdeps. This bug is open for 6 months already without the maintainer even caring to reply. Looks like it's time to treeclean it.
This fork https://gitlab.com/rindeal-forks/miredo doesn't look to as dead.
Miredo is nice as a poor man's VPN between two hosts where each one is behind a separate NAT, without possibility to setup a port forwarding anywhere. If the only thing that is needed to close this bug is the four-line fix from comment 2 then it would be a shame to lose the package over it. AFAIK even WireGuard (which still requires an out-of-tree kernel module and has a "You should not rely on this code" note on its webpage) does not offer such mode of operation.
Fixed it in [1], released as v1.3.1, bumped and updated ebuild in my repository accordingly [2]. [1]: https://gitlab.com/rindeal-forks/miredo/commit/7c651180502ff06649c16e2496d61aaf300f4435 [2]: https://github.com/rindeal/rindeal-ebuild-repo/tree/master/net-vpn/miredo

Yes, comment #2 fixes net-vpn/miredo-1.2.6 ebuild successfully. It works for me now. Tested in my local overlay. miredo is a must-have soultion. It is the only zero-cost (free) solution to get IPV6 working for people which have NAT Internet provider with dynamic IPv4.
+1 for keeping miredo alive. Voting for fork. We can use epatch as a temporary solution.
