Description Anton Bolshakov 2016-05-10 00:19:23 UTC

It discovered that timers has 4.0.x and 4.1.x series. It is clear from the changelog file.

A software such (as rubydns) might explicitly depend on a specific slot such as ~> 4.0.1. Currently, both versions are slotted under :4.

I suggest to adjust slots to:
 :4.0
 :4.1

Our policy for slotting is outlined here: https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/Project:Ruby/Packaging_RubyGems#Version_numbers_and_slots

From the timers Changelog I don't see any backward-incompatible changes, so in this case the best approach is to fix the rubydns gemspec.

Comment 2 Anton Bolshakov 2016-05-10 06:25:28 UTC

Ok, agreed. The API may be still compatible. Thanks for looking at it.
