Description Brenden Matthews 2007-09-04 00:25:40 UTC

Version bump for mysql-ruby.  Diff attached.

Also, I think 2.7.3 (not sure about previous versions) should be removed, because it has an ugly memory leak which can be very nasty if you have ruby processes using this library which aren't being killed often.  I had 5 ruby processes each using as much as 1.5GiB of RAM due to this bug on one server.

Thanks for the update, and from the changelog it does seem that a memory leak has been fixed. It probably needs specific circumstances to trigger as I haven't seen this on our production machines at all.

Is there any particular reason you removed the test patch from the ebuild?

mysql-ruby 2.7.4 is now in CVS.

The patch didn't seem to apply properly for me.  And the changelog said the leak (which was creating problems for me) was fixed in 2.7.4 (ie > 2.7.3).
