Hi Hans. The annoying problems occur when updating ruby-related packages. |
11 |
|
12 |
For example, I (want to) use only ruby19: |
13 |
|
14 |
#grep RUBY /etc/portage/make.conf |
15 |
RUBY_TARGETS="ruby19" |
16 |
|
17 |
In spite of that, portage often insists on installing other versions of |
18 |
ruby, rdoc, rubygems, and you already know the others. |
19 |
|
20 |
AFAICT, the other versions of ruby are dragged in by old ruby packages |
21 |
that were installed before I started using "RUBY_TARGETS" (because I |
22 |
didn't yet know about RUBY_TARGETS), |
23 |
|
24 |
I discovered all of this by grepping for ruby in /var/db/pkg but it |
25 |
took me a long time to get it sorted out, and I don't expect that a |
26 |
gentoo beginner could do it. (OTOH maybe a gentoo beginner wouldn't |
27 |
care about installing multiple ruby versions :) |
28 |

Thanks for taking the time to read gentoo.user and even more thanks |
30 |
for being a gentoo dev :) |
