[DRE-maint] Bug#1132421: ruby-tokyocabinet: Please migrate away from tokyocabinet

[Tobias Frost]

Source: ruby-tokyocabinet
Severity: important
Control: block 1131879 by -1
Control: affects -1 ruby-moneta

Dear maintainers,

The Tokyo Cabinet library has been deprecated upstream for many years,

Given its age and lack of upstream maintenance, Tokyo Cabinet is starting
to show increasing issues (see e.g. #1114412). Therefore, there is an
ongoing effort to remove Tokyo Cabinet from Debian. This effort is
tracked with bug #1131879.

As ruby-tokyocabinet is all about tokyocabinet, it is probably the time
to retire this package.

ruby-tokyocabinet is recommended by ruby-moneta, marking this bug
affecting it.

Otherwise, there are not reverse dependencies.

Cheers,
