Long story short, dev-python/gevent is a horrible package whose maintenance is taking a lot of effort and we never get it right anyway. It has a lot of architecture-specific hacks, the tests randomly fail for some reason and every version bump is pain. Right now it's incompatible with dev-python/greenlet-2*, and the new release that brings greenlet-2* fails ton of tons for no apparent reason. Therefore, I'd like to remove this package. Unfortunately, it has revdeps: - dev-python/geventhttpclient -- (python@) Python module with no revdeps - dev-python/rpyc -- (grozin@) also seems to have no revdeps - mail-filter/pyzor[gevent] -- (python@) USE-conditional - net-misc/python-x2go -- (voyageur@) - www-apps/prewikka -- (unmaintained) - www-servers/uwsgi[python-gevent] -- (python@) USE-conditional - x11-misc/py3status[gevent] -- (ultrabug@) USE-conditional If you want to keep it, then please figure out how to make the tests work and bump it. Otherwise, we'll have to lastrite all these packages / mask the respective USE flags.
For net-misc/python-x2go, gevent is highlighted as a core dependency and upstream development has slowed down quite a lot (less than 10 commits in 2 years). Revdeps net-misc/pyhoca-{cli,gui} would have to go too, but we still have net-misc/x2goclient as an alternative. tl;dr I am OK with last rites for these 3 to kick gevent out of the tree
rpyc provides several implementations of rpyc server to choose from. GeventServer is one of them. It is possible to use rpyc without gevent, just choose some other server implementation.
(In reply to Andrey Grozin from comment #2) > rpyc provides several implementations of rpyc server to choose from. > GeventServer is one of them.

Thank you!
