>Description:
	Current devel/readline package is readline 6.0 in pkgsrc and
	its license is GPLv3.

	Since current devel/readline/Makefile's LICENSE is gnu-gpl-v2,
	we need to change to gnu-gpl-v3.

	But GPLv3 itself has license incompatibility problem.

		http://redmine.ruby-lang.org/issues/show/2000

	So, strict view from license, we keep old readline package which
	is readlly gnu-gpl-v2.

 Yes, that was fixed, but the more important point in that pr is not fixed.

 There are several points.

 1. readline 6.0 is under GPLv3 and LICENSE has fixed.
 2. Discussion is continued and no explicit result yet.
    (http://redmine.ruby-lang.org/issues/show/2000)
 3. ruby18-readline package already uses libedit if available.  But
    compared with readline, libedit lacks some functions and support of
    multibyte characters.  I didn't realized about multibyte characters
    and I'll add an option which select readline library to
    ruby-readline.

 So, something safer solution might be keeping readline<6.0...

 Should we mark this PR suspended until the upstream guys reach a
 conclusion?

 Yeah, I was thinking we'd need to add devel/readline5 and use that.

 I agree with you.

 It isn't very happy solution and it may happen to another packages.  :-(
 (but it might be no choice...)

 Committed By:	taca

 Modified Files:
 	pkgsrc/devel/ruby-readline: Makefile options.mk

 Log Message:
 Don't enable "readline" option default if RUBY_VER is prior to 193.

 Ruby 1.9.3 changes its license and solve the problem with GPL3 of readline
 license.  But Ruby 1.9.2/1.8.7 dosen't solve this problem.

 If you want to use ruby-readline with GNU readline on ruby18 or ruby192,
 please explictly set "readline" PKG_OPTION.

 Fix PR pkg/41943.

 Bump PKGREVISION.
