i'm trying to write an ebuild for keyd (key remapper), and this is what happens:

your *.ebuild is missing some extra options - compare it with the one from gentoo-zh overlay https://gpo.zugaina.org/app-misc/keyd

look at the end in above mentioned ebuild.

how to handle multiple repositories https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/Ebuild_rep ... positories

i didn't read all regarding this ebuild, but it depends on systemd !?

please use https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/Wgetpaste from now on, regarding *.log files.

i swear i checked zugaina before i started to package keyd but i saw nothing
anyways keyd is packaged on another overlay, so thanks mate for giving me the link

keyd wrote:Linux lacks a good key remapping solution. In order to achieve satisfactory results a medley of tools need to be employed (e.g xcape, xmodmap) with the end result often being tethered to a specified environment (X11). keyd attempts to solve this problem by providing a flexible system wide daemon which remaps keys using kernel level input primitives (evdev, uinput).

That's simply not true.

There's interception tools and it's packaged here.
