Description Enne Eziarc 2017-08-21 19:18:25 UTC

Upstream has been using a bundled version of a random libtommath.git commit, and libtom shows no sign of doing another release soon. This worked fine for a few months but some recent change in moarvm added a dependency on a #define that's not present in libtommath-1.0.

It's possible to patch it in and things *seem* fine, all the way until it gets to rakudo's src_test where everything completely fails. Seems like the only option for now is to revert to using the bundled library.

(2017.08.1 was only released today, so isn't in portage yet)
