This is a tracker bug to support the unmasking of dev-lang/spidermonkey-1.8.5 .. I am in the process of reviewing all ebuilds that depend on spidermonkey and am filing bugs on each of them in order to handle (at minimum) compile-time support. Reproducible: Always
..ok I think that's all the deps. It should be noted that www-client/elinks currently does not support spidermonkey-1.8.5 (DEPENDs already show this). Also, net-libs/libproxy may need a patch to support discovery of spidermonkey-1.8.5 instead of xulrunner-2, if they turn javascript support back on (see bug 360893 comment 16)
regarding bug 376979 , the maintainer has said that current versions of app-accessibility/edbrowse can be masked when spidemronkey-1.8.5 is unmasked (the next release will support spidermonkey-1.8.5)
OK, checklist: app-accessibility/edbrowse - works dev-db/couchdb - works as of 1.1.1 dev-db/mongodb - got three bugs on activities related to this one dev-libs/gjs - works as of 1.30.0 dev-perl/JavaScript-SpiderMonkey - fixed now that js shell is available dev-vcs/veracity - n/a, they embed their own version gnome-base/gnome-shell - good to go, needs 1.8.5 media-gfx/freewrl - supports 1.8.5 media-libs/coin - doesn't work with any >=1.8 atm, not a holdback media-video/gpac - removed javascript support media-video/gxine - crashing at runtime but not related to sm-1.8.5 net-misc/mediatomb - fixed net-misc/plowshare - fixed now that js shell is available www-client/elinks - fix ready, waiting for maintainer to approve/commit Looks like we're nearly ready. All that's left is committing the change for elinks (bug 391297) and resolving mongodb (the other three).
Anarchy gave the go-ahead to unmask, as the remaining bugs are not serious enough to block things (all of their current deps are valid). + 24 Nov 2011; Ian Stakenvicius <axs@gentoo.org> package.mask: + Unmasked dev-lang/spidermonkey-1.8.5 and non-gnome3 package versions that + depend on it +
