[gentoo-dev] Last rites: ruby18-only packages in dev-ruby

[Hans de Graaff]

With Ruby 1.8 End-Of-Live upstream we are starting the preparations to
remove it from the tree, together with all relevant packages. The list
below contains all packages in dev-ruby that are marked as ruby18-only.
If you use any of the packages below with a newer ruby version then
please open a bug with the details so we can mark it accordingly and
remove it from the mask.

If you maintain ruby packages please check that your package supports at
least Ruby 1.9 (ruby19) and mark it accordingly.


# Hans de Graaff <graaff@gentoo.org> (21 Jul 2013)
# Mask ruby18-only packages in dev-ruby for removal in 30 days.
# ruby18 is EOL and no longer supported upstream. These packages
# are only marked for ruby18 and most have not seen releases in
# a long time. All of them don't have reverse dependencies.
# All will be removed unless it can be verified that they do
# work with newer ruby versions.
