http://dev.gentoo.org/~zerochaos/distfiles/ruby_test_deps.txt As you can see, enabling this by default in any profile would be rather crippling to gentoo as a whole. I am not blaming anyone, nor do I understand what has caused the current situation. What I do understand is that I am unable to run with FEATURES=test enabled by default despite having the desire to do so. I have the hardware to run automated test, I have the desire to run automated tests, the only thing I don't have is the time to sort out hundreds of circular deps in ruby. If it helps lower the tempers, I don't bitch about things I'm not willing to help fix. If someone from the ruby team wants to discuss this with me (on or off this list) I will be happy to listen to the problem and try to find a sane solution. Likely this will require changes to the dep structure or portage, but these subjects interest me very much and I feel it is well worth my time to help with this. You have two choices: 1.) Continue to curse me and we stay where we are 2.) accept the help offered Your call. - -Zero -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v2.0.19 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Using GnuPG with Thunderbird - http://www.enigmail.net/ iQIcBAEBAgAGBQJRgfJFAAoJEKXdFCfdEflKyYUP/R+GNFv9SC4NASSFAh8nSNBH MUG3+5k5UpI1AtbSyt1VdnQztgK5b4x9RmSard0PptlOgB0g/Nf24b6qbaT/SYFR DI8FmhQaZLmf4icw2/LjK6mO0r9gPfiB5Rm4LFmkHMJVDxd2HmkV4bMV2Y+zfoLZ A0SwK2Y3jMGjTmL4Eg/j3ExRVYDQP2Uo1uF56XU6+5pcn+gI4gA+dCB3Q7RDEqtM L8sds5WijA10Jd5q6QKSNnDQmv7jLioRqFuVupJ5QlieIdQCY0jaYEwlasTfGKKh FlxmSLF3Uw08tLDgMWXpjrRsnyzup9V/zNwQiMD6SOukTvqoQPJ1p+/5qrur+OVD /NjvdqXBk8kYjmhXVGdyOhVDgeEyknG/hqxgT/z7abNqIaYPufel8tV5+DQL28H+ 2FLU8DorMfXBzpYqPW/g55gSalOytR3jpVGPEthTt91b8YbbvOgdWkdIl0c8qmeV r7xrPhMQ6wZUX0hapcX3670sUYXeLjactYvJLj6WQyT+pIfnSTaI0QYjsDpnmOfy 0KPuw3MMjuSYdp0iIq8IxVRbUJ94sM9PqzoFVp8hXHFf80IWV7RaZBzABwzBY9fW eKlWTylRM7rw08SddHaU4lSiOhN3y9AtPV0NQSnxq5klT5IH8MSTwgB4t3oo5M7h xlkncCfm1vHt9kS3A5Qi =SO5/ -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
