Description tastytea 2022-04-06 20:09:18 UTC

Hi, ruby-ng has the eclass variable RUBY_OPTIONAL to allow the ebuild to decide under which conditions the dependencies are pulled in. ruby-fakegem unconditionally depends on virtual/rubygems, which pulls a lot of stuff in that may never be used because ruby support is optional in the package or it is only used for tests. Please add support for RUBY_OPTIONAL in ruby-fakegem.

I recently came across an ebuild that would benefit greatly from this change: <https://gitweb.gentoo.org/repo/proj/guru.git/tree/app-shells/zsh-autosuggestions/zsh-autosuggestions-0.6.4.ebuild?h=dev&id=1cf47b5>.
