Issue #16671 has been updated by hsbt (Hiroshi SHIBATA). CentOS 7 will be EOL at 2024/06 and CentOS 8+ will be not provided in the future. I know Red Hat switched them to CentOS Stream. Unfortunately, CentOS Stream (and RHEL) is not major distribution for Ruby developers. ---------------------------------------- Misc #16671: BASERUBY version policy https://bugs.ruby-lang.org/issues/16671#change-101549 * Author: ko1 (Koichi Sasada) * Status: Closed * Priority: Normal * Assignee: hsbt (Hiroshi SHIBATA) ---------------------------------------- Ruby 2.7 (MRI) requires Ruby 2.2 or later (== BASERUBY) to build from repository. Tarball does not need any installed Ruby. To build latest Ruby from repository, you need to build Ruby 2.2 and later from a tarball. Can we make the BASERUBY version update policy? # Background To use `ISeq#to_a` (specific format) Ruby 2.2 or later is needed from Ruby 2.7. The oldest version used by RubyCI machines was Ruby 2.2, so I determined update. I needed to file a ticket about this version bump, sorry. --- related: https://bugs.ruby-lang.org/issues/16668 -- https://bugs.ruby-lang.org/
