Description Alon Bar-Lev (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2015-12-02 20:11:05 UTC 
Hi,

Please use:
   || ( dev-libs/libgcrypt:0/11 dev-libs/libgcrypt:11/11 )
Or:
   dev-libs/libgcrypt:11/11

To avoid blocking users from upgrading libgcrypt.

Thanks!

I have made an ebuild for latest vmware-workstation. As you're going to remove dev-libs/libgcrypt:0/11, can you confirm that the dev-libs/libgcrypt:11/11 will be kept in portage backporting security issues? If this is the case probably it's better lo leave the dependency only as 

   dev-libs/libgcrypt:11/11

Which is otherwise the reason in having dev-libs/libgcrypt:0/11 and dev-libs/libgcrypt:11/11?
Comment 2 Alon Bar-Lev (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2016-01-20 13:46:30 UTC 
libgcrypt-2 is not maintained upstream, thus not be maintained downstream. whoever uses it will be subject to security issues.
Comment 3 Andreas K. Hüttel archtester gentoo-dev 2016-03-19 17:37:09 UTC 
Fixed everywhere except in 11.1.2, which will be dropped soon anyway.
