Description Hans de Graaff gentoo-dev Security 2013-08-31 06:06:38 UTC
Your package depends explicitly on dev-lang/ruby:1.8. Versions in this slot are no longer supported upstream and this slot will be removed from Gentoo shortly. Please adapt your package to use a newer slot of ruby or mask it for removal if it is not compatible.

 * @note Maintainers note
* @note Please don't use this module, Matz ruby was never designed for embedding.
* @note This module leaks memory, and the ruby code installs signal handlers
* @note which interfere with normal operation of the server. It's all bad...
* @note mruby shows some promise, feel free to rewrite the module to use that.

Is it okay to remove ruby from freeradius completely?
Comment 2 Hans de Graaff gentoo-dev Security 2013-11-24 08:28:04 UTC
dev-lang/ruby:1.8 will be masked within a week.

Since ruby support looks optional for you package please either fix the
bindings or remove the ruby support before that time.
