Hi,

I hope to soon update devel/ruby-gems to the latest version, 2.4.5, after far
too long at the ancient 1.8.x. There is a review here:

https://reviews.freebsd.org/D1678

though only those with an @FreeBSD.org email address may currently sign up and
comment on the review. There's also a PR in bugzilla:

https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=197083

for the exp-run. The diff can be found in either:

or

https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/attachment.cgi?id=152148&action=diff&context=patch&collapsed=&headers=1&format=raw

I urge all users of ports Ruby to please download and test this locally. It's a
big change.

It's long overdue so waiting a bit longer if some issue is found isn't a
problem, but on the other hand I'm rather happy to finally have it all working
and I'd rather get it committed ASAP so that the many ports that need changing
to make it work don't end up needing further work and delaying it even more.

Thanks,
Steve
