For the record, see the thread about roccat devices in international forums:
https://forums.mageia.org/en/viewtopic.php?f=5&t=6135

Packages are currently available via repos at
http://mageia.unrealnetworks.co.uk/

Using them already since I got a kone xtd and the packages are working just fine, and nobody else requested those packages yet (apart from me and Pete).

I'll try and see if I can clean up and update my packages and import them.

Yup, this unofficial repository working, but I think we should have one official repo. We don't know if, author oh this unofficial repo release update in future, or if he create repo for upcoming Mageia 6 or if he not remove this repo soon. This is still unofficial, so we need have this in Mageia 6 repo.

Hi.
Sorry for writing in the old topic.

Did you stop working on adding Roccat packages to Mageia?

I will add that even unofficial packages are out of date and there is no repository for MGA6.

Is any hope for adding this officially?

> Did you stop working on adding Roccat packages to Mageia?

Yes, I did, as packaging it up is quite messy and there were some issues like that the -devel packages were required to have the OSD working. Also newer version required an additional library that would also need to be imported. And if I already lack the time to keep it current outside the official repos, and to import it, I'm not confident about importing this.

If anyone still wants to import this, my packages were based upon
https://build.opensuse.org/package/revisions/openSUSE:Factory/roccat-tools
