Discuss: ruby-1.9.x EOL -- someone to add ruby-2.2?

[Randy MacLeod <randy.macleod@windriver.com>]

As stated in the post below, ruby-1.9.3 is no longer supported
and CVEs will not be released.

I'm not a rubyist but I assume we should upgrade to ruby-2.2.0 which
became the stable version as of December 25, 2014. Comments?
Martin, you are listed as maintainer of the meta-multimedia,
do you have any concerns about such an upgrade?

If anyone wants to start work on this for meta-oe, that'd be great.
If no one gets around to it, then a developer from WindRiver will
likely be able to work on it but not a few months.

As of today, all support for Ruby 1.9.3 has ended. Bug and security 
fixes from more recent Ruby versions will no longer be backported to 1.9.3.

This end of life was announced over a year ago.

We highly recommend that you upgrade to Ruby 2.0.0 or above as soon as 
possible. Please contact us if you’d like to continue maintaining the 
1.9.3 branch or if for some reason you can’t upgrade.
