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 [1] https://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=536852 [2] https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/Project:Ruby/Ruby_1.9_deprecation
