Please add USE_EXPAND="RUBY_SINGLE_TARGET" to base/make.defaults so USE="ruby_single_target_ruby32" can be specified using RUBY_SINGLE_TARGET="ruby32" instead. I just made an update implementation of my Ruby script package that only works against one Ruby implementation at a time with shebang header as #!/usr/bin/rubyXX so any form of `eselect ruby` won't affect its runtime. If possible also kindly add desc/ruby_single_target.desc, probably with the following content based on desc/python_single_target.desc: -------------------- # Copyright 1999-2023 Gentoo Authors. # Distributed under the terms of the GNU General Public License v2 # This file contains descriptions of RUBY_SINGLE_TARGET USE_EXPAND flags. ruby30 - Build for Ruby 3.0 only ruby31 - Build for Ruby 3.1 only ruby32 - Build for Ruby 3.2 only --------------------
Such changes should be done via the mailing list (use `git-send-email`). But really this needs eclasses to go with it, not just adding the USE_EXPAND by itself, which will end up confusing people. (This _does_ need doing, it's just that the USE_EXPAND is really the trivial part.)
Alright I'll just consider this as unapproved until devs implement it. The eclass in my opinion is for the devs. The users will understand it if there's the desc.

I just mean there's no point in committing the RUBY_SINGLE_TARGET USE_EXPAND by itself without eclass work.
