Description PetaMem R&D 2016-05-14 12:10:56 UTC
Newest version in portage is 3.1 - I'm not exactly sure how old that is.

# eix torch
* sci-libs/torch
     Available versions:  (~)3 (~)3.1 {debug doc examples}
     Homepage:            http://www.torch.ch/
     Description:         Machine-learning library, written in simple C++


which is at the moment quite pointless. I managed to install Torch7 on Gentoo
see https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/torch7/mtNfCLlQNSU

It's quite a hassle, but it could serve some package maintainer as guiding
line to either provide a Torch7 ebuild or remove torch altogether.

Reproducible: Always

Thank you for your report about installing torch 7 on gentoo it must have been a lot of work. 

Is there a reason for a possible removal of torch-3* besides being old? 
One reason could be that it can not be compiled anymore due to missing other libraries on gentoo. If so, please open a new bug for torch-3 and just link it in the comment, if you like.
Comment 2 PetaMem R&D 2016-05-15 07:38:45 UTC
Please see Bug 583068 for my torch-3 removal proposal
Comment 3 PetaMem R&D 2016-05-15 07:51:06 UTC
Should there be any takers to try to bring torch-7 to Gentoo, I can - while having neither time nor expertise to make an ebuild myself - be available to help with the pitfalls there are during the build.

In short: I think I can spare some days of effort to anyone who would like to take a shot at providing an ebuild.
