Installing Ruby 3.0.2 fails because there is only a .tar.gz archive

[indirect]

Seems like MRI should probably be installable without having to hunt down the official archive URL, right?

Support for .tar.xz was added back in ruby-install 0.8.0 and it became the default archive that's downloaded. Upgrading to ruby-install >= 0.8.0 should fix this.

Oof, now I’m embarrassed I wrote an entire ticket before upgrading to the latest. 🤦🏻‍♂️ Thanks!

I keep getting this same bug report re-submitted, which tells me I probably didn't broadcast the release of 0.8.0 loud and far enough or people were holding off on installing ruby 3.x which dropped support for .tar.bz2 archives.
