A user brought this to my attention in #gentoo-dev-help .. this ebuild is vastly outdated and it does not use python.eclass despite installing python bindings. I will be attaching a patch that updates the ebuild to provide proper support for python via python.eclass, and also provides support for ruby via ruby-ng.eclass (which currently was not being installed). Reproducible: Always
Created attachment 286475 [details] better ebuild This ebuild -should- be EAPI=4 , and in fact at the moment it seems that the ruby install won't work properly unless it is EAPI=4. However, python.eclass doesn't support EAPI=4 yet, so i left it at EAPI=3 and put a note on the ruby-ng.eclass to see if they will backport some of their newer variable handling.
Created attachment 292201 [details] updated ebuild Since python.eclass supports(ish) EAPI=4, i've adjusted and tested this ebuild again -- it should be OK for the tree now.
