ruby-builder

A repository building released rubies to be used in GitHub Actions.

The action to use these prebuilt rubies is ruby/setup-ruby.

Please report issues to ruby/setup-ruby.

There is one release per $engine-$version holding the corresponding built Rubies for the various platforms.

Building a new Ruby release

ruby build.rb [ruby|jruby|truffleruby] VERSION

Process for new builds

When making builds a different way, first create a new release and mark it as prerelease.

Then if it might cause breaking changes, open an issue on actions/virtual-environments with a description of the changes. This needs to be done 2 weeks prior to using the release.

Once it's ready, mark the release as non-prerelease and switch to it in ruby/setup-ruby.

See this issue for more details.
