[oi-dev] ruby 3.0.2

[Till Wegmueller]

While I can see your logic, I am afraid there wont be a package unless 
we make one. For one that I doubt Hashicorp makes one without us asking, 
and on the other hand it is not that easy to build IPS packages outside 
OI-userland. Which defines a lot of build time variables and structure. 
Also all of the people needed to make a review and get the software 
tested are in this community.

In any case a build from source Article will help. Can you make that?

If you are still up to make a OI package I would definitely help testing it.
