Description Hans de Graaff gentoo-dev Security 2015-04-26 08:12:30 UTC
Upstream support for Ruby 1.9 ended, therefore we'd like to remove ruby1.9 soon.

Your package depends on ruby:1.9, please use a recent ruby implementation and get this version stable, if the ruby:1.9 version had stable keywords.

Comment 1 Rick Farina (Zero_Chaos) gentoo-dev 2015-06-29 15:00:47 UTC
You may remove this package with the other things which don't support ruby 1.9, as well as net-wireless/airpwn which I believe is the only package that depends on this old version of lorcon.
Comment 2 Hans de Graaff gentoo-dev Security 2015-06-29 18:12:19 UTC
Actually this would not affect airpwn since that depends on net-wireless/lorcon-old.

Affected by masking of lorcon would be:

- net-analyzer/metasploit (where this is a dependency based on the lorcon USE flag)
- net-wireless/aircrack-ng (where this is a dependency based on the airdrop-ng USE flag)

In both cases the USE flag could be removed.

However, I noticed that net-wireless/lorcon-9999 has a ruby21 TARGET, so is this not just a matter of creating a new version based on current upstream?
Comment 3 Manuel Rüger (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2015-08-27 13:53:44 UTC
aircrack-ng is not a problem as it does not depend on USE=ruby.
The only package depending on lorcon[ruby] is metasploit.

Please consider adding a snapshot with ruby20 and ruby21 support, otherwise we'll mask USE="ruby" in two weeks (and subsequently metasploit-{4.x,9999}).
Comment 4 Rick Farina (Zero_Chaos) gentoo-dev 2015-08-31 18:53:19 UTC
