[gentoo-user] =dev-lang/ruby-2.6.6 merge fails

[Tamer Higazi]

hi everybody

I am trying to merge ruby-2.6.6 and I am not getting to be successful.
Any ideas how to accomplish that ?

I am looking to hearing from you.

-- snip -- snip -- snip --

tamer@tux /var/www/discourse $ emerge -pv =dev-lang/ruby-2.6.6

These are the packages that would be merged, in order:

Calculating dependencies... done!

emerge: there are no ebuilds to satisfy 
">=dev-ruby/xmlrpc-0.3.0[ruby_targets_ruby26]".
(dependency required by "dev-lang/ruby-2.6.6::gentoo" [ebuild])
(dependency required by "=dev-lang/ruby-2.6.6" [argument])

  * IMPORTANT: 2 news items need reading for repository 'gentoo'.
  * Use eselect news read to view new items.

tamer@tux /var/www/discourse $ emerge -pv dev-ruby/xmlrpc

These are the packages that would be merged, in order:

Calculating dependencies... done!
[ebuild   R    ] dev-ruby/xmlrpc-0.3.0::gentoo  USE="-doc -test" 
RUBY_TARGETS="ruby25 (-ruby24) (-ruby26) (-ruby27)" 0 KiB

Total: 1 package (1 reinstall), Size of downloads: 0 KiB

  * Use eselect news read to view new items.

hi again,

I just figured out how to install ruby 2.7

https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/Ruby

Section "Installing a Test Implementation"

creating in /etc/portale the subdirectory "profile", creating there a 
file called "use.stable.mask" with the content:

-ruby_targets_ruby27


solved my problem.
