Bug 547768 – net-irc/epic5 still uses ruby19

• Product: Gentoo Linux
• Status: RESOLVED FIXED

[Description Hans de Graaff 2015-04-26 08:05:12 UTC]

Upstream support for Ruby 1.9 ended, therefore we'd like to remove ruby1.9 soon.

Your package depends on ruby:1.9, please use a recent ruby implementation and get this version stable, if the ruby:1.9 version had stable keywords.

I added epic5-1.1.10-r1 which drops ruby19 and adds support for selecting a ruby implementation from among ruby20, ruby21, and ruby22.

I also added stuff to REQUIRED_USE to prevent ruby_targets_* useflags from being set when the ruby useflag is disabled. I think that this is the right way to handle RUBY_OPTIONAL=yes. Though, I feel like the ruby-ng.eclass makes this harder than it should be as my line looks like:

    REQUIRED_USE="ruby? ( ^^ ( $(ruby_get_use_targets) ) )
            $(for t in $(ruby_get_use_targets); do echo "${t}? ( ruby )"; done)"

If the ruby team has comments on how I’m handling this project which has optional ruby support but can only build against one ruby at a time, that’d be helpful.

I guess all that’s left is stabilization. Should I file the stabilization bug earlier because of upstream ruby19 discontinuation or is it fine to wait the standard(?) 30 days?

There's ruby-single.eclass available now. That probably might help here.

I need to be able to use ruby_implementation_command() (from ruby-ng.eclass for now), so while ruby-single.eclass looks the right way to go, it isn’t quite ready yet. So see bug #554560 for that discussion.

<net-irc/epic5-1.10-r1 USE="ruby" was masked

This looks like a typo; I think it should perhaps be <net-irc/epic5-1.1.10-r1 that gets masked?

Thanks should be fixed in 63d5b88128b2755e587ab51dba79436b63fe57d1
