[augeas-devel] Bumping the ruby version for ruby-augeas

[Kent Brede]

I'm still managing rhel5 boxes.  End of life is Spring of 2017 for rhel5.  We'll be working the rest of the year to move v5 to v7.  I'll still be maintaining rhel6 for quite a while as well.


As a general rule it makes my life more difficult when software I rely on stops supporting distro versions that are not at EOL.


Having said that I primarily use Augeas through Puppet.  So if Puppet's monolithic install continues to work for rhel{5,6,7} I'm fine.

Is there any worry about RHEL6 compat?  Latest version there is 1.8.7.  I'm more or less comfortable with the augeas that is in RHEL6 today, but I can't speak for others.

There is still a lot of RHEL6 out there. Puppet lists it as an officially supported platform (https://docs.puppet.com/guides/platforms.html).

I'm not an expert in Puppet's support policies but it looks like they support anything with Ruby ? 1.8.7.
