Description Hans de Graaff gentoo-dev Security 2013-08-04 06:32:35 UTC 
I just noticed that net-analyzer/metasploit still references dev-ruby/postgres as the preferred postgres database API provider. Could you please drop this? dev-ruby/postgres has been obsoleted by dev-ruby/pg a long time ago. It is also only available for ruby18 which we will drop from the tree shortly, so I'd like to mask dev-ruby/postgres for removal ASAP.

Given that metasploit already has dev-ruby/activerecord[postgres] as an alternative you could just keep that, or just depend directly on dev-ruby/pg, which is what activerecord does.

dependency for dev-ruby/pg is covered by dev-ruby/activerecord[postgres] so no
need to readd it. Acked by Rick Farina. Fixes bug #479688
