Any Ruby experts among us?
Some Ruby ports hardcode versions for dependencies in a form restricting those to a given major or minor version. Since many Ruby gems are not updated for years (but still required for other stuff), this presents a problem: any dependency using those will build but not run. Is there a way to solve this other than by patching every such instance? Patching works but is pretty tedious. Ideally a solution via Ruby PG is preferred, I think.
