[Deja Dup 34.3 is old and doesn't compile]

Hi,

 

I recently installed Funtoo for the first time (also first time with a Gentoo-based distro) and I simply love it!

 

I'm now trying to install Deja Dup for backups and I found that the version I find with emerge is 34.3 (even after running `ego sync`):

 

$ emerge -s dejadup

Taking a look at deja dup's repo it seems that this version is about 4 years old. I wouldn't mind it if it wasn't because it doesn't compile:

$ sudo emerge -a

I've found this thread and this other thread both pointing at a potential patch in here but the link seems broken.

 

Trying to get more help for this problem I stumbled upon the gentoo's page for this package which states that version 42.7 is available. Until now, I assumed that Funtoo was pulling gentoo ebuild on a daily basis so I checked `emerge --info` and found that my GENTOO_MIRRORS variable is configured as `https://fastpull-us.funtoo.org` which return a 404 when I try to access it.

 

Do I have a problem with my Funtoo configuration (I configured it according to the installation instructions but might have done something wrong)? If not, how come I can't access newer versions of Deja Dup? Do you guys know if the patch for version 34.3 is available somewhere?

 

Thank you very much!
