Hi all,
Just done an eix-sync followed by an emerge --pretend -NuD world
and for some reason, something wants to install Ruby stuff everywhere -
I don't currently have any ruby stuff installed. I have in my make.conf
-ruby and RUBY_TARGETS=. Looking at equery depends ruby shows 4
ebuilds,
app-text/docbook-xsl-stylesheets-1.78.0-r1 (ruby ? dev-lang/ruby:1.9)
(ruby ? dev-lang/ruby:2.0)
dev-util/universalindentgui-1.2.0-r1 (ruby ? dev-lang/ruby)
dev-vcs/subversion-1.8.13-r2 (ruby ? =dev-lang/ruby-2.1:2.1)
media-gfx/graphviz-2.38.0 (ruby ? dev-lang/ruby)
I've gone into package.use and put a -ruby for these four and the
problem persists.
Looking at the output from emerge --pretend -NuD world shows the first
mention of ruby is eselect-ruby. Putting this into package.mask does
nothing, it still appears in the emerge list and now also at the bottom
of the emerge output under The following mask changes are necessary to
proceed
emerge --tree --pretend dev-lang/ruby appears to also have
eselect-ruby as the cause of the trouble.
Does anyone know how I can prevent this infestation from happening?

Andrew
To close off my original question, the problem was related to
qt-creator. I had 3.2.2 installed and it wanted to update to 3.4.1.
3.4.1 has a dependency on qtwebkit, which has a dependency on ruby,
hence the infestation. Masking 3.2.2 solved the problem.
Thanks to those who provided suggestions,
Andrew
p.s. --tree really needs to be documented properly somewhere
--tree is already documented in the man page, in alphabetical order with
all the rest of the options. Yes, it's two lines, but that's all it
needs to be:
it displays the whole depgraph so yu can see what pulls in what.
It's also *very* well-known around here and is usually one of the first
things given as advice with questions like yours.
Were you expecting something more?
