1 Hi all,
2 Just done an "eix-sync" followed by an "emerge --pretend -NuD world"
3 and for some reason, something wants to install Ruby stuff everywhere -
4 I don't currently have any ruby stuff installed. I have in my make.conf
5 "-ruby" and "RUBY_TARGETS=""". Looking at "equery depends ruby" shows 4
6 ebuilds,
7
8 app-text/docbook-xsl-stylesheets-1.78.0-r1 (ruby ? dev-lang/ruby:1.9)
9 (ruby ? dev-lang/ruby:2.0)
10 dev-util/universalindentgui-1.2.0-r1 (ruby ? dev-lang/ruby)
11 dev-vcs/subversion-1.8.13-r2 (ruby ? >=dev-lang/ruby-2.1:2.1)
12 media-gfx/graphviz-2.38.0 (ruby ? dev-lang/ruby)
13
14 I've gone into package.use and put a "-ruby" for these four and the
15 problem persists.
16
17 Looking at the output from "emerge --pretend -NuD world" shows the first
18 mention of ruby is "eselect-ruby". Putting this into package.mask does
19 nothing, it still appears in the emerge list and now also at the bottom
20 of the emerge output under "The following mask changes are necessary to
21 proceed"
22
23 "emerge --tree --pretend dev-lang/ruby" appears to also have
24 eselect-ruby as the cause of the trouble.
25
26 Does anyone know how I can prevent this infestation from happening?
27
28 Regards,
29 Andrew
