With the new ports quarterly we see this kind of deprecation warnings when installing ruby gems (either via ports tree or with the
While probably being harmless in itself, this points to something that is not well maintained.
Since ruby 2.x the gem tool is contained in the ruby software, and need no longer be separately installed. But we still have a separate port for the gem tool: devel/ruby-gems. And we need to install this because it provides the gem executable, and all the gems in the ports tree depend on it.
As every ruby software has their own gem tool included, each has it's own version of it:
lang/ruby25: 2.7.6.2
lang/ruby26: 3.0.3
lang/ruby27: 3.1.4
but:
devel/ruby-gems: 3.0.8
So we see the problem: the gem tool from ports is downlevel against the gem tool as of ruby27.
The funny thing: all the ruby versions will use their embedded gem tool anyway, only the current default ruby version will use the extra gem tool. And the default ruby version has been changed to 2.7 with the new quarterly - so that is why these deprecation messages do suddenly appear.
The question: why do we have that extra gem tool at all? I might think it should be removed, and all ruby versions should consistently use their own embedded gem tool. This would be less prone to surprizes when switching the default, also.
