Portage only offers MongoDB 5.0.5, while 6.0.3 and 5.0.14 have been released. 5.0.5 is not even +stable. Please update to the new version. Is anybody maintaining this package? Thank you in advance Reproducible: Always

Any further news on this? Mongo is now at v7 upstream
7.0.8 is now current.
I could not have imagined this. Very sad whats happening with Gentoo :(
Created attachment 892614 [details] ebuilds for mongodb-7.0.8 and 7.0.9 This archive contains ebuilds for mongodb 7.0.8 and 7.0.9 and the associated patches taken from archlinux.
However, it does not compile with Python 3.12 because of the imp module does not exists anymore. It seems it is only used in buildscripts/moduleconfig.py. I don't know how to replace it, and I don't know if it uses other modules removed in Python 3.12.

How many years will it take to finally bump mongodb ? I have proposed ebuilds for version up to 7.0.12 but 7.0.15 also works, and nothing has been done. However I am not a developer at all and I do not have sufficient knowledge to take over maintainership of the package. Is this package still maintained in gentoo ? 7.0.16 does not work with boost 1.86 because of a change with change_extension. I didn't manage to built 8.0 branch either because they switched to poetry and I do not know how to fix the problems. But upgrading to 7.0.16 should be possible if the problem with newer versions of boost. I do not understand at all why nothing happens.
Meanwhile, mongodb 5.0 branch is EOL since end of October last year (see https://www.mongodb.com/legal/support-policy/lifecycles). How many year will be needed to move to newer versions in gentoo ?
For those interested, I managed to solve the problem with change_extension replaced by replace_extension in boost and I successfully compiled 7.0.18. I have put this version and the needed patches here: https://github.com/fvalenduc/gentoo-portage/tree/bump-mongodb Should I submit a pull request even if I am not (and do not want to be) the maintainer of mongodb in gentoo ?
