Package: jruby Severity: important Version: 9.1.17.0-3 Dear maintainers,
The current version of jruby in Debian is compatible with ruby 2.3, while Debian runs ruby 2.7. This means a lot of the ruby gems packaged in Debian will not work with jruby. A good example of this is bug #977979. Worse, this cannot simply be fixed by updating to the latest upstream version, as it currently only supports ruby 2.5. Apparently, the ruby team plans to move to 3.x after Bullseye. I don't think it's realistic to think jruby can keep up with the ruby version in Debian. It is my opinion /usr/lib/ruby/vendor_ruby should probably not be added to the jruby LOAD_PATH, as it is currently done via path 0007-Add-usr-lib-ruby-vendor-ruby-to-load-path. -- ⢀⣴⠾⠻⢶⣦⠀ ⣾⠁⢠⠒⠀⣿⡁ Louis-Philippe Véronneau ⢿⡄⠘⠷⠚⠋ po...@debian.org / veronneau.org ⠈⠳⣄
