Description Vladimir Smirnov (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2017-05-23 01:27:14 UTC 
Current latest version of ruby 2.2 is 2.2.7, also we now have ruby 2.3 and 2.4, but in prefix tree there are only 2.0.0, 2.1.5 and 2.2.1.

The problem with outdated ruby is that some packages requires >=2.2.2.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. emerge ruby:2.2
Actual Results:  
1. ruby 2.2.1 will be merged

Expected Results:  
ruby 2.2.7

I think it's worth to evaluate if we actually need special version of ruby for prefix. I've tried to compile latest from portage on my OSX prefix and everything was fine.

2.4.1 is now in the tree.  It has some changes compared to gx86, but it's not that far off.  If it turns out ok on systems, I want to drop 2.1 and get 2.2 and 2.4 ported to gx86.
