Description Michał Górny archtester

2017-05-13 10:12:23 UTC

It seems that the ruby eclasses still output IUSE and dependencies for old Ruby versions in USE_RUBY, even though the packages for those implementations are no longer in ::gentoo.

This creates a huge number of NonExistentDeps reports (1794 for ruby:2.0 out of 2323 total NED reports) [e.g. 1]. Let's remove the support for these targets completely, in a way similar to how python-r1 suite does it (i.e. via ignoring the extra values declared by ebuilds).

I'll issue a CI run for the removal.
