[gentoo-dev] status of ruby 1.8.7?

Hi,

We have ruby 1.8.7 in the tree masked since April.

# Richard Brown <rbrown@gentoo.org> (16 Apr 2008)
# Masked for test
=dev-lang/ruby-1.8.7*

There's no tracker bug or anything alike about the status of unmasking, so I 
wanted to ask what's the status here.


Beside, I'd like to repeat that I think it's a very bad idea to add new 
packages to package.mask "for testing" without any further information. 
Usually a tracker bug is a good idea, but any other note where to find 
information what needs to be done to get things ready is fine.

Hanno also opened a bug and I've responded there:

Agreed. This was an old mask from before the recent discussion about
this. I've updated the package.mask information accordingly.

Kind regards,

Hans
