Hello Ruby team, (I am explicitly Cc: the people who volunteered to help a few months back) As you might have noticed, during the last week the ruby2.5 transition was put in motion. ruby2.5 has been in testing for a while, and we did a couple of test rebuilds with it to assess the size of the problem. It looks good enough, so I decided to go ahead with the transition. I just did an upload of ruby-defaults enabling builds for ruby2.5. This should be available in the repository in a few hours from now. Now is the time I need the most help: we need to fix every package that has a problem with ruby2.5. The transition is being tracked together with the release team at: https://release.debian.org/transitions/html/ruby2.5.html The packages that are listed there that can just be rebuilt against ruby2.5 will be binNMUed soon. The ones that fail are currently listed here: https://people.debian.org/~terceiro/ruby2.5/builds/#FAIL These failures should have priority in the fixing because they may provide native extensions that are used by other pure-Ruby packages. The full list of bugs that need to be fixed (including the above + all pure-Ruby packages that presented some problem during the rebuild) is at: https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/pkgreport.cgi?tag=ruby2.5;users=debian-ruby@lists.debian.org Last but not least, we have a wiki page with a plan/TODO list for the transition. It could be an interesting read: https://wiki.debian.org/Teams/Ruby/ruby2.5
