What muppet keyworded a live ebuild, and what braindamage makes git not abort after, say, 12h of waiting? /me is not very nice. Sorry. Just had 2 chroots waiting for almost a day. Not good for mood. Plz2fix.
Not sure what the issue is. Works fine for me here...
(In reply to comment #1) > Not sure what the issue is. Works fine for me here... > Ok. (1) You're using a live ebuild to fix a fixed revision. So users get git installed for no reason. (2) Because git suffers from a specific flavour of brain damage it doesn't time out but hangs indefinitely when the server goes stupid. So now instead of fetching a tiny file over HTTP things can and will go pear-shaped I'd like to ask you to make this a proper snapshot ebuild which fetches a file from the mirrors instead of abusing git like this. Makes life a lot easier for all involved and causes less failures. I had two chroots wait >12h because of this funny ebuild ... not amusing.
I think upstream also moved the git repository. Caleb, you really should use a tarball here, while it might be boring to make snapshots, and git is much easier to use for that, it really should be looking at users too.
The ebuild needs love for 0.10.0 anyway.
Caleb, I've masked dev-lang/rubinius because of this bug. Please unmask when you get around to fix this. Also try not to use git for static revisions since it causes these problems in the first place.

The homepage (rubini.us) has a link to github...
Getting ready for removal.
