Hi all,

Ruby 2.6 packages are now available in the repository. Currently built
for Xenial and Bionic, as I'm having some issues with Trusty.

Tempted to skip Trusty as it's end-of-life in April anyway - if you
think you'll need Trusty support for 2.6 specifically, speak up so I
know that it might be worth doing!

Hi John,

I would be very grateful to have 2.6 for Trusty.
But if it takes a lot of time and I'm the only one them I understand why you would leave it out. If it's just a matter of changing a parameter then I would be much obliged ;)

Regards, Roy

Hi Roy,

it will unfortunately take a lot of time - I've already spent quite a bit of time on it and have been hitting compiler and test errors (the compiler on Trusty is pretty old!).

I'll see if I can take another swing at it soon, but it's not looking likely, sorry.

John.
