puppet-lint no longer installs on MacOS due to the ruby version bump

[claviola]

Describe the Bug

puppet-lint can no longer be installed on macOS 12.6.1, which comes with ruby 2.6.10p210 (2022-04-12 revision 67958) [universal.arm64e-darwin21].

$ gem install puppet-lint -v 3.0.1
	The last version of puppet-lint (= 3.0.1) to support your Ruby & RubyGems was 3.0.1. Try installing it with `gem install puppet-lint -v 3.0.1`
	puppet-lint requires Ruby version >= 2.7. The current ruby version is 2.6.10.210.

Expected Behavior

Install/upgrade to the latest version of puppet-lint.

Steps to Reproduce

gem install puppet-lint -v 3.0.1

Environment

• Version 3.0.1
• macOS 12.6.1 (Monterey)

Additional Context

#50 said that the version would be bumped up to 2.5, and that's what the commit message says, but the version ended up being bumped to 2.7.

Ruby 2.6 is end of life since 2022-04-12 according to https://www.ruby-lang.org/en/downloads/branches/ so I think that was why 2.7 was chosen.

[claviola]

That makes sense, but it's a pretty big jump in requirements and breaks a major OS, so if it doesn't directly impact puppet-lint itself it'd be nice to have it rolled back to it at least (not even 2.5 as the PR states.)

@claviola Ruby requirement has been dropped again in #87 .

There will be a 3.1 release in the next couple of days that will sort this out.

[claviola]

@chelnak since #113 by @GSPatton was merged shortly afterwards, I don't think there's been any release past v3.4.0 that can be installed using MacOS's default Ruby.

If there's no hard requirement of Ruby >= 2.7, can this please be reverted?

[chelnak]

Hey @claviola! I'll pass this on to @davidsandilands who can talk to the team about it (I no longer work for Puppet 🙂)!
