Can't install latest version of the gem using Ruby 2.7 #157

Closed alexeisersun closed 4 weeks ago

Hello there!

We try to upgrade epics gem in a project with Ruby 2.7. Judging by epics.gemspec file, Ruby 2.7 is still supported:

  spec.required_ruby_version = '>= 2.7'

However, same epics.gemspec file specifies Nokogiri version which requires Ruby 3+: 😅 

  spec.add_dependency 'nokogiri', '>= 1.16.5'

From my perspective, one of the following workarounds can be done:

  1. relax Nokogiri version, so that the gem is installable on Ruby 2.7
  2. bump required Ruby version to 3+ in gemspec

Could you please advise what can be done in this case?

Since nokogiri keeps addressing relevant security issues regularly, it does not make sense to relax that requirement.

Ruby language version 2.7 is not officially supported anymore by its maintainers. My suggestion is for you to update your projects to using a newer ruby version.

While the language requirement of >= 2.7 might be sligtly misleading with other gems requiring a newer Ruby, it does not currently warrant a new release in my opinion.
