Issue #21804 has been updated by Earlopain (Earlopain _). I don't really see the point of automerging PRs when someone still has to create the release manually. Merging the PRs is not much effort, someone just needs to do it. Having this happen as part of release management sounds reasonable to me. ---- But I think the bigger issue here is that windows builds are not first-party. So even if the release process gets adapted, issues like what @mdalessio wrote above will not be solved. Someone else handles the windows builds and that doesn't happen at the same time the release does, so there will always be some kind of delay (2 days this time I think, ignoring time to merge the PR) That said, for those that don't use windows in CI, changing something would still help. ---------------------------------------- Misc #21804: Getting setup-ruby Earlier https://bugs.ruby-lang.org/issues/21804#change-115918 * Author: koic (Koichi ITO) * Status: Open ---------------------------------------- ruby/setup-ruby is commonly used for development in OSS projects and real-world Rails applications. https://github.com/ruby/setup-ruby This is not specific to Ruby 4.0.0. There is often a delay between a Ruby release and the availability of the corresponding version in setup-ruby. setup-ruby is maintained by the ruby organization and may take a few days to become available after a Ruby release. In contrast, ruby-build is maintained by the rbenv organization and tends to become available shortly after a Ruby release. This makes it easier to start using new Ruby versions immediately. If setup-ruby maintained by the ruby organization were released shortly after a Ruby release, users could start using new Ruby versions sooner. It is difficult to determine whether this issue should be registered on bugs.ruby-lang.org. Since setup-ruby is maintained by the ruby organization, this issue is being opened to raise awareness of the situation. If this is not appropriate, please feel free to close it. Thank you for your continued maintenance and for releasing Ruby. -- https://bugs.ruby-lang.org/
