[oi-dev] ruby 3.0.2

[stes@PANDORA.BE]

Ruby 3.0.2 builds on OpenIndiana Hipster:

$ /scratch/ruby-30/bin/ruby --version
ruby 3.0.2p107 (2021-07-07 revision 0db68f0233) [i386-solaris2.11]

The following config line works to build ruby 3.0.2:

./configure --disable-dtrace --with-gcc --prefix=/scratch/ruby-30 BISON=/scratch/bison-35/bin/bison

This is with a custom bison instead of the currently OI installed bison 3.7.6.

There's some gar (gnu ar) errors when dtrace is enabled.

The gem ext/ripper grammar has a problem with bison 3.7.6 , the generated ripper.c is generated by the Ruby developers using bison 3.5.1.

However when I try to use vagrant with ruby 3.0.2 that poses a problem because the bundle --binstubs exec step from:

https://github.com/hashicorp/vagrant

is not working.  While with the tradition ruby-2.7.4 it works fine.

There may be more experimental features in ruby-3.0.2 compared to ruby-2.7.4 so 2.7.4 is preferable anyway.

So for the moment probably it just needs some testing (or a lot of testing) before IPS packaging this.

In fact "vagrant" can be used perfectly well from source ...

There could just be a community documentation page on docs.openindiana.org that documents how to install vagrant from source.  I'll make a PR for oi-docs to document this.

If a 'vagrant' IPS package is to be made, this would be more logically something for hashicorp,
since it is hashicorp's product.
