Subject: [PATCH] gnu: Remove ruby-2.6.
Date: Wed, 26 Mar 2025 18:08:47 +0100

* gnu/packages/ruby.scm (ruby-2.6): Delete variable.
(ruby-2.7): Copy fields previously inherited from ruby-2.6.

Change-Id: I14065e045ede6224cb30b05dcb7fcbdf03df8dbd
---
This commit removes ruby <at> 2.6, which was EOL on 2022-04-12 and has no
dependent packages any more. Unfortunately it appears that since @2.7
inherited from @2.6, it is rebuilt with all its 14000 dependent packages
although I have only copy-pasted the previously inherited fields.

According to the removal policy, this commit could be pushed on April 26;
but we should make sure that everything is built on CI.

Hi Andreas, I think a similar patch is already applied on ruby-team.
This branch is close to be ready (not that much ruby packages anyway), I
think we can create a request to merge it.

Ah, sorry for not having checked the ruby-team branch! But it is good
news to see progress. If you do not mind, I would suggest to keep this
bug open until the ruby-team branch has been merged.

Did you also experience that disinheriting ruby-2.7 causes it to be
rebuilt, or did I make a mistake in my patch?

Andreas

Closing this issue since the ruby-team branch is getting ready.
