Ignore base64 gem during update_gems workflow#213
Merged
Conversation
Prior to this commit, the `update_gems` workflow would add a `pkg.build_requires 'base64'` statement when updating gem components. This would cause the update to fail tests as `apt install rubygems-base64` or `dnf install rubygems-base64` doesn't work on many platforms. This commit restores `base64` to an "ignored" status as it is, depending on Ruby version, a default or bundled gem that is always present in the installation in some form. There may be issues surrounding `base64`, but it seems better for a human to sort those out manually than for automation to repeatedly make the wrong decision every day at midnight. This partially reverts commit 2dcd0db. Signed-off-by: Charlie Sharpsteen <charlie@overlookinfratech.com>
