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