It isn't gone. You can put the ebuild in a local overlay if you want. (In reply to Jeroen Roovers from comment #1) > It isn't gone. You can put the ebuild in a local overlay if you want. Thats what I did. But maybe I am not the only one with this concern and it would be nice to know if biber-1.7 is still supported in some way or maybe has been removed because of serious known issues. Can you paste your dependency tree? You should not need to install perl 5.18 for biber-1.8. It works with perl 5.16.2 I just saw Portage was wrong about blaming dev-perl/autovivification for depending on perl-5.18. Really it is virtual/perl-Exporter-5.680.0 which depends on
>=dev-lang/perl-5.17.11
Ok, I found out I can use perl-core/Exporter-5.680.0 as provider for virtual/perl-Exporter-5.680.0 by kewording it. Then I am able to use it with perl-5.16. Sorry for the noise and thanks for your help! |
