Bug 425218 – media-sound/podcatcher-3.1.6 version bump

• Product: Gentoo Linux
• Status: RESOLVED FIXED

[Description chkno 2012-07-08 07:38:06 UTC]

media-sound/podcatcher-3.1.6 contains fixes for ruby 1.9 compatibility.

The only change needed in the ebuild:

-SRC_URI="http://rubyforge.org/frs/download.php/43722/${P}.tar.gz"
+SRC_URI="http://rubyforge.org/frs/download.php/76053/${P}.tar.gz"

Unfortunately, this URL changes with every release.  http://rubyforge.org/frs/?group_id=453 lists them all.

I've committed the bump, but this probably needs someone familiar with ruby to implement the ruby-ng.eclass functionality.

I had a quick look and this is only a binary, so the ruby-ng eclass can't help. I think the ebuild looks fine from as-is and will default to the currently eselected ruby. If anything the previous version was broken as it should have depended on dev-lang/ruby:1.8.

Currently it pulls in both ruby:1.8 and ruby:1.9 (when no ruby previously installed). Surely that's more than necessary.

I guess this only happens with USE=bittorrent? In that case dev-ruby/rubytorrent is pulled in, and that is only marked for ruby18. Thus ruby 1.9 gets pulled in for podcatcher and 1.8 for rubytorrent. In this situation I would suggest to limit the ruby dependency of podcatcher to ruby:1.8 to reflect its dependencies.

rubytorrent has seen not a release since 2005 and it has no test suite, so I won't mark it ready for ruby19 unless there are some positive test reports from users.
