dev-ruby/ruby-vte is the last package depending on x11-libs/vte:0, and I'd like to remove it. I noticed that the only reverse dep of dev-ruby/ruby-vte is dev-ruby/ruby-gnome2, which itself has no reverse dependencies. A number of its dependencies also have no other reverse dependencies than dev-ruby/ruby-gnome2. Of all the packages pulled in by dev-ruby/ruby-gnome2, the only reverse dependencies are - app-i18n/tomoe - dev-ruby/barby - games-board/camato - net-misc/mikutter None have open bugs or other indications that they should be removed. That leaves us with the following packages that have no reverse dependencies: - dev-ruby/ruby-clutter - dev-ruby/ruby-clutter-gdk - dev-ruby/ruby-clutter-gstreamer - dev-ruby/ruby-clutter-gstreamer - dev-ruby/ruby-clutter-gtk - dev-ruby/ruby-gdk3 - dev-ruby/ruby-gegl - dev-ruby/ruby-gnome2 - dev-ruby/ruby-gnumeric - dev-ruby/ruby-gsf - dev-ruby/ruby-gstreamer - dev-ruby/ruby-gtk3 - dev-ruby/ruby-gtksourceview - dev-ruby/ruby-gtksourceview3 - dev-ruby/ruby-gtksourceview4 - dev-ruby/ruby-libsecret - dev-ruby/ruby-rsvg - dev-ruby/ruby-vte - dev-ruby/ruby-vte3 - dev-ruby/ruby-webkit2-gtk - dev-ruby/ruby-wnck3 Should we keep these? Should we remove them?

Created attachment 824249 [details] dot graph of dependencies if we removed packages with no reverse deps
Adding naota to the CC since all recent updates of these packages were handled by naota and these packages could do with an update. ruby-gnome2 is just a meta package so I don't see why it would need to be masked. Just dropping the dev-ruby/ruby-vte dependency from it should be sufficient and allow it to be masked. This was also the approach taken when we dropped unsupported webkit binding versions.

Many of the other packages are also depending on deprecated software, e.g. clutter, x11-libs/gtksourceview:2.0. This seems like a great opportunity to cull it, given that there are no reverse dependencies.
