Since all versions are currently ~arch, and ~arch spidermonkey will be 1.8.5 soon, this package will become invalid unless one or more of these ebuilds are keyworded stable (to match spidermonkey-1.8.2.15). Please stabilize at least one of these ebuilds; others will need to be p.masked when sm-1.8.5 is unmasked as per bug 376987
ping; 1.8.7 coming soon and this still blocks system-wide ~arch users.
I asked again upstream about the possibility to move to 1.8.x spidermonkey but they said it's not going to happen since they're focusing on v8 (but v8 is still not stable for production). So the only correct way to handle this would be to have mongodb compilation working with the bundled third_party/js-1.7 only while still using system wide snappy/pcre. Meaning : pkg_setup() { enewgroup mongodb enewuser mongodb -1 -1 /var/lib/${PN} mongodb scons_opts=" --cxx=$(tc-getCXX) --use-system-pcre --use-system-snappy --sharedclient" if use v8; then scons_opts+=" --usev8" else scons_opts+=" --usesm" fi } I currently don't have the time and I'm not comfortable enough with spidermonkey building to have this working. If you can help on this matter, it will be appreciated and I'll be glad to offer this alternative to solve my spidermonkey-1.8+ blockers.
Yes, I can help with this. I've noticed that, at least in 2.0.6, it's possible to build mongodb without any scripting support (ie, no spidermonkey AND no v8). would it make sense for the ebuild to allow such a build? IE, set --usesm when flag 'embedded-js' is enabled (or similar)? Or maybe have a 'minimal' flag which builds it without --usesm?

I'm more inclined to have a 'embedded-js' flag which drops the spidermonkey DEPEND while using the third_party/js-1.7. Do you think you could look into getting this working mate ?
Sorry for taking so long on this! mongodb-2.2.0-r1 committed to the tree, builds the embedded js1.7 and links it in statically. Passes tests (FEATURES="test"), but since I don't use mongodb I didn't do actual runtime testing. This version has better support for building against boost, too -- no more build-time dependency on the eselected version.

Thank you so much Ian. I can confirm it works like a charm.
