Unmasking RUBY_TARGETS=ruby23 [SOLVED]

Hi,

I'm trying to emerge dev-ruby/rubyzip with RUBYTARGETS="ruby21 ruby22 ruby23" but it seems that the ruby23 flag is masked (as far as I know that's what a flag in parenthesis means).

In /etc/portage/make.conf I have

Code: Select all

RUBY_TARGETS="ruby21 ruby22 ruby23"

I have my ruby profile set to ruby23:

Code: Select all

$ eselect ruby list
Available Ruby profiles:
  [1]   ruby21 (with Rubygems)
  [2]   ruby22 (with Rubygems)
  [3]   ruby23 (with Rubygems) *

Following advice in this thread: viewtopic-p-6669489.html
I tried unmasking the use flag in /etc/portage/profile/package.use.mask:

Code: Select all

dev-ruby/rubyzip -ruby23

But when emerging I still get:

Code: Select all

$ emerge -pav dev-ruby/rubyzip

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

Calculating dependencies... done!
[ebuild  N     ] dev-ruby/rubyzip-1.2.1:1::gentoo  USE="{-test}" RUBY_TARGETS="ruby21 ruby22 (-ruby23) (-ruby24)" 0 KiB

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

 * IMPORTANT: 1 news items need reading for repository 'gentoo'.
 * Use eselect news read to view new items.

I'm still pretty new to Gentoo so I'm not sure if I'm missing something here. Any help figuring out how to unmask this flag is greatly appreciated!

What does

Code: Select all

emerge --info

show for RUBY_TARGETS?

Something in your profile? There is this

Code: Select all

# Hans de Graaff <graaff@gentoo.org> (25 Dec 2016)
# Currently in testing and not ready to go stable yet.
ruby_targets_ruby23
ruby_targets_ruby24

in /usr/portage/profiles/base/use.stable.mask

Correct way to unmask use flag is

Code: Select all

# echo "dev-ruby/rubyzip -ruby_targets_ruby23" >> /etc/portage/profile/package.use.mask

because ruby23 is part of use expand of RUBY_TARGETS

fedeliallalinea,

That did it. I didn't realize that prefix was required to differentiate it from a plain USE flag. Makes sense now. Thanks!

How did it get masked in the first place?

By profile, as you mentioned before

Code: Select all

# Hans de Graaff <graaff@gentoo.org> (25 Dec 2016) 
# Currently in testing and not ready to go stable yet. 
ruby_targets_ruby23 
ruby_targets_ruby24

I meant how is use.stable.mask being pulled in, if in fact that is what is happening.
I do not see this on masking my boxes, and if I do that is what I would look into.

use.stable.mask affects stable packages. If you run an unstable system, it won't affect you.
