Description Manuel Rüger (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2016-09-26 19:48:11 UTC 
Reminder for myself:
2.6 requires perl-5.24 and thus probably will probably need some time.
Comment 1 Jason A. Donenfeld gentoo-dev 2016-09-27 00:39:45 UTC 
No problem if it takes some time. HOWEVER, do not bump the other LaTeX packages to versions that require biber-2.6 until you're ready to bump biber-2.6. Otherwise, you'll create big issues for anybody who uses Gentoo daily for academic work. This was the story with the massive delay for biber-2.5, and it was not very pleasant to work around.
Comment 2 Manuel Rüger (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2016-09-27 19:33:14 UTC 
This should be fixed by biber being restricted to ~dev-tex/biblatex-3.x
Comment 3 Till Schäfer 2017-03-14 15:03:27 UTC 
2.7 is out now (https://github.com/plk/biblatex/releases)

Bug 612624: dev-tex/biblatex-3.7 version bump
Comment 6 Eugene Shalygin 2017-03-27 12:03:25 UTC 
Biblatex in the tree (2.7) does not work with biber 2.5 from the tree. Please bump biber ASAP.
Comment 7 Eugene Shalygin 2017-03-27 12:03:51 UTC

> Biblatex in the tree (2.7) 

3.7 of course
Comment 8 sg313 2017-04-05 10:03:36 UTC 
I suggest putting biber-2.7 in ~ with the right deps, so everyone can decide for himself to merge the package.

I wrote the ebuild manually (dependencies are most likely incomplete), and updated to perl-5.24.1-r1. 

emerge with --backtrack=1000 could then resolve dependencies and pull in the new perl.

ebuild with fixed dependency

Fixed dependency in ebuild:
biber requires dev-perl/File-Slurp instead of dev-perl/File-Slurper
Comment 11 Till Schäfer 2017-04-25 15:11:53 UTC 
reminder daemon: perl-5.24 is stable now :-)
Comment 12 Sam Stone 2017-04-28 17:43:54 UTC 
Any update on version bump?
