Most other apps depending on ruby manage to express this through dependencies ...

I'm not really sure if we can handle this situation better, but I'm happy to hear suggestions.

I assume your RUBY_TARGETS is set to a non-default "ruby19". We interpret this as that you really don't want "ruby18", so it won't be pulled in as a dependency in any case. Unfortunately prime can only work with ruby18, so now we have an unsolvable situation.

We can't express this in normal dependencies because the packages pulling in prime don't and shouldn't know that it is written in ruby.

We'll follow the ruby team's lead on this.

[Comment 3 Hans de Graaff 2014-01-18 10:29:30 UTC]

app-i18n/prime is still ruby18-only, so we intend to mask this packages and all packages depending on it.

@naota: any change that this can be saved for ruby19 and better? Or can we mask this?

Proposed mask would be:
app-i18n/prime
app-emacs/prime-el
app-i18n/gtkimprime
app-i18n/scim-prime
dev-libs/suikyo

and drop "prime" USE flag from app-i18n/uim

[Comment 4 Naohiro Aota 2014-01-19 05:05:42 UTC]

Upstream seems to be dead and Debian already dropped the package. Nothing can be done to be saved for ruby19.

[Comment 5 Manuel Rüger (RETIRED) 2014-01-27 23:45:11 UTC]

@naota:
can you proceed with masking the ruby18 only package and its related packages as proposed by graaff?

[Comment 6 Naohiro Aota 2014-01-29 01:49:17 UTC]

Masked prime and its related for removal and drop USE=prime from uim.

[Comment 7 Manuel Rüger (RETIRED) 2014-03-12 11:31:21 UTC]

@ naota:

30 days passed, ready to clean up?

[Comment 8 Naohiro Aota 2014-04-02 09:38:27 UTC]

All packages dropped.
