Racket 6.8 has been released. Merely copying the ebuild for racket 6.7 and rebuilding the manifest resulted in a working package for me. Reading `./configure --help`, it doesn't seem like there are any new flags that need to be exposed as USE flags.
Racket version 6.9 is now availabled with vulnerability fixed. --- Security Announcement: A security vulnerability in the `racket/sandbox` library and Typed Racket allowed malicious Typed Racket code to escape the sandbox. This vulnerability has been fixed in Racket version 6.9. Anyone using `racket/sandbox` to execute untrustworthy code with access to Typed Racket should upgrade to version 6.9 immediately.

This new ebuild comes with a lot of fixes: 1. Dropped the unused eutils eclass. 2. Updated the LICENSE to LGPL-3 from LGPL-2 (upstream change). I've also included GPL-3+ in there, because I see some plain-GPLed code in the source tree. 3. Added some missing dependencies, and a comment mentioning why they're needed. This includes pango per bug 486016. 4. Added a blocker on dev-tex/slatex to avoid file collisions. This is bug 547398, and the solution isn't entirely satisfactory, so I've left a comment explaining what I know. 5. Added --disable-strip to the configure flags to avoid some QA warnings. 6. Changed a few "make" commands that are used with USE=jit, to ensure that two executables are pax-marked before they're used. Along with some commands to pax-mark the installed binaries, this fixes bug 613634. 7. Removed the *.desktop file DESTDIR mangling; it looks like whatever problem this solved has been fixed upstream. However, this new ebuild comes with one new problem: 1. The build randomly crashes with racketcgc segfaults. This seems to only happen with USE=jit. I've filed a bug upstream at http://bugs.racket-lang.org/query/?cmd=view&pr=15433, but even changing the GC doesn't appear to fix it. I get a different backtrace, but it's always racketcgc that segfaults. I'm not sure what to do about this (mask the "jit" flag?), so this new ebuild is committed package.masked.
