Hi! I would like, within my capabilities, to contribute to Gentoo development.
PREFACE While working on a new ebuild for app-misc/worker, I found that the program author set a repository in SourceForge. And I replaced SRC_URI with SourceForge's. In my opinion, it has advantages over the program homepage, because it is https (and the program homepage is only http) and also has a built-in antivirus. But then I found that there are no usual tar.gz in SourceForge, but only .zst. First I managed to install it with a dirty hack in src_unpack, but then I found unpacker.eclass and moved my changes there. Maybe they are not correct; I am still learning to contribute to Gentoo. Please comment, what do you think about it?
