Bug 215510 – Need to migrate ruby-postgresql to ruby-pg

• Status: RESOLVED FIXED
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Reuben Martin 2008-03-31 02:03:32 UTC]

The postgresql ruby gem is starting to suffer from bit rot, and is now being officially replaced by ruby-pg.

The old ruby-postgresql has been forked and updated (to provide easier upgrade path), as well as the newer ruby-pg gem being created. Both are compatible with the older gem. The ebuilds need to reflect this at some point.

The new ruby-postgres from the ruby-pg project is in the tree now, ruby-pg to some further on.

For reference: ruby-pg is in the Ruby overlay now. (working with ruby 1.8 and 1.9)

Please open a new bug for that problem (although I guess it needs rspec as build-time dependency even when tests are disabled).
