Description Hans de Graaff gentoo-dev Security 2018-01-24 19:10:28 UTC
This package still uses ruby 2.2. Upstream is no longer supporting Ruby 2.2 and security support ends on March 1st, 2018. Ruby 2.2 will be masked for removal on or shortly after this date, along with any packages still depending on ruby22. Please update your package to use a newer ruby slot.

Use ruby 2.3 if you can only use one slot and your package is in arch
Use ruby 2.4 if you can only use one slot and your package is in ~arch

Use as many ruby targets as possible when you can use multiple slots.

Note that Ice-3.5.1 still has USE_RUBY="ruby19" which has been obsolete for years.
Comment 1 Hans de Graaff gentoo-dev Security 2018-04-15 05:20:26 UTC
Fixed by switching ruby22 to ruby23.
