Issue #16671 has been reported by ko1 (Koichi Sasada).

----------------------------------------
Misc #16671: BASERUBY version policy
https://bugs.ruby-lang.org/issues/16671

* Author: ko1 (Koichi Sasada)
* Status: Open
* Priority: Normal
----------------------------------------
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.

[naruse]

Issue #16671 has been updated by naruse (Yui NARUSE).


Through the discussion around CI, I reached a conclusion "Runtime environment and development environment are different".

Though CentOS and macOS bundles very old ruby, but it's no problem because they are just runtime environment.
If people want to develop Ruby master on those environment, they can install latest stable ruby with tarball.

Therefore BASERUBY can be a reasonable newer stable version.
It means newer than Ruby installed by default on for example CentOS.

Note that it is true for years, for instance, Windows 9x was supported as a runtime environment but not as a development environment, at least.

[shyouhei]

Issue #16671 has been updated by shyouhei (Shyouhei Urabe).


I'm not against this issue but for record: commit 8a72c77c7920d129818b7b83bb4fa669cd7e3f7d says "as requested by devs, support for BASERUBY prior to 2.1". and the "devs" here included ko1.  At that time his machine was a Panasonic laptop running Windows, and had older BASERUBY.  Windows situation got improved since then (we now have CI).  This might no longer be a problem.

Issue #16671 has been updated by hsbt (Hiroshi SHIBATA).


How about the Ruby version provided by the stable Ubuntu release?

* https://packages.ubuntu.com/search?keywords=ruby
  * bionic (18.04LTS): 2.5.1, standard EOL date is 2023/04
  * focal (20.04LTS): 2.7, standard EOL date is 2025/04
  * jammy (22.04LTS): 3.0, standard EOL date is 2027/04

So, we can upgrade the BASERUBY version of Ruby 3.3 to Ruby 2.7 in this year.

What we often tend to write frequently are safe navigation operator and indented here-docs.
So I'll be happy it were 2.3 or later.

I agree with upgrading BASERUBY. The version should be determined by the latest version of the distribution (Debian?).

Matz.

Why Ubuntu / Debian and not CentOS / RHEL 7? IOW I think it would be probably better to base the policy on Ruby releases then on external factor such as Linux distribution versions.

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.
