Dear everyone,
Having not been given any love for a long time, we have now got in the
tree a version of dev-libs/msgpack newer than 3.3.0 - namely 5.0.0. Yes,
we have managed to skip the entire major version 4 (yay?)! Anyway, the version in question introduces at least two breaking changes:
- since 4.0.0, the (header-only) C++ library is no longer bundled with
the C one. As a consequence, a new(ish) package dev-cpp/msgpack-cxx has
been introduced and >=dev-libs/msgpack-5.0.0 no longer provide
IUSE="boost cxx";
- since 5.0.0 CMake modules for both the C and the C++ variant of
msgpack have different names, which might break cmake-based revdeps
which have not been updated accordingly.
In light of the above, both dev-cpp/msgpack-cxx and
=dev-libs/msgpack-5.0.0 are currently masked in order to give the maintainers of msgpack devreps ample time to test compatibility with the
new versions. They will, however, be unmasked on the 3rd of March unless major problems are encountered with the revdep update. There is a
tracker bug "msgpack-5" which can be used to group related issues.
Given there's only a handful of revdeps, perhaps you could simply test
them?
