You mean "deprecate", I'm pretty sure.
I've seen a number of things break with 1.8.0 that worked on 1.6.8, even
in my own code. It hasn't been hard to fix them, but it's taken some
time.
# epm -ql ruby | grep -v 1.6
/usr/bin/ruby
/usr/bin/irb
/usr/lib/libruby.so
/usr/share/man/man1/ruby.1.gz
Looks to me like it would be really easy to provide a SLOT="1.6" version
of the current ebuild, and make the new versions be SLOT="1.8". Would
that be a good solution? (Maybe not.. that's why I'm asking.)
