--- Description ---
Hi!

I'm one upstream maintainer of rubygems. We've been getting some reports
recently from freebsd users about some annoying warnings when using bundler=
 in
freebsd. For example: https://github.com/rubygems/rubygems/issues/4283.

I investigated the cause, and why only freebsd users have reported this iss=
ue.
The explanation is that the warning only happens when using bundler in ruby=
 2.7
in combination with an old rubygems version (the issue was fixed by
https://github.com/rubygems/rubygems/commit/2fcde0f4e0153ab9cc2152908bed5b4=
085d
82ce5#diff-8f51ef27aa7c1bf289ef010df42fb4a5f0635d0149776e57bc86985c98bc6480,
which was released with rubygems 3.1).

In general, we never noticed this because upstream policy is to only support
using a rubygems version higher than or equal to the rubygems version inclu=
ded
with each upstream ruby version. So the support policy would be:

* Ruby 2.5 ships with Rubygems 2.7, so only rubygems versions between 2.7 a=
nd
the latest rubygems are supported there.
* Ruby 2.6 ships with Rubygems 3.0, so only rubygems versions between 3.0 a=
nd
the latest rubygems are supported there.
* Ruby 2.7 ships with Rubygems 3.1, so only rubygems versions between 3.1 a=
nd
the latest rubygems are supported there.

The devel/ruby-gems package follows our policy on ruby 2.5 and 2.6 but ship=
s an
out of date rubygems version in the case of ruby 2.7.

This causes issues like the one above, since we don't support that combinat=
ion
at all.

Would it be possible to get the package upgraded to 3.1.x?

Thanks so much!
