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.
