Subject: [bug#77289] [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.
