Hi, |
| 2 |
|
| 3 |
as upstream stopped maintaining ruby 1.9 in February 2015, it is about |
| 4 |
time to phase out ruby 1.9 support in Gentoo [1,2]. Recently ruby 2.1 |
| 5 |
has been stabilized on all supported architectures. |
| 6 |
Therefore, the Ruby team will update RUBY_TARGETS from |
| 7 |
RUBY_TARGETS="ruby19 ruby20" to RUBY_TARGETS="ruby20 ruby21". |
| 8 |
This will enable support for ruby21 and remove the support for ruby19 at |
| 9 |
the same time to keep the compilation effort for our users minimal. |
| 10 |
|
| 11 |
See [2] for packages that require further attention by their |
| 12 |
maintainers (CC'd). |
| 13 |
|
| 14 |
Our schedule for the removal: |
| 15 |
|
| 16 |
Today: Post news item to gentoo-dev |
| 17 |
Today + 3d: Add news item to gentoo-news repository |
| 18 |
Today + 1 week: Start masking USE="ruby" for packages that still rely on |
| 19 |
ruby19 (again see [2]); update RUBY_TARGETS in base profile to "ruby20 |
| 20 |
ruby21" |
| 21 |
Today + 2 weeks: Mask ruby 1.9 and deps for removal |
| 22 |
|
| 23 |
Cheers, |
| 24 |
|
