Re: [ITA] ruby 3.2.2

[Daisuke Fujimura <booleanlabel@gmail.com>]

Thank you for your review.

Based on your review, I understand that the following steps are necessary.

Could you please let me know if it is correct?

1. Release `ruby-2.6.4-2`.
    - Add `ruby_PROVIDES="ruby_${${VERSION%.*}//./}"` to ruby.cygport.
    - The value of this variable will be `ruby_26`.
    - `provides: ruby_26` is added to `ruby-2.6.4-2.hint`.
2. Modify cygport and release it.
    - Add code to detect dependencies on `ruby_xy`.
    - It is similar to the process for `perl5_xy0`.
        - https://github.com/cygwin/cygport/blob/0.36.2/lib/pkg_info.cygpart#L442
        - https://github.com/cygwin/cygport/blob/0.36.2/lib/pkg_info.cygpart#L639
3. Rebuild `ruby-*` subpackages.
    - The new cygport adds `depends: ruby_26` to the hint.
    - (Question) Does a gem that has no dependencies on `cygruby*.dll`
need to rebuild?
4. Release `ruby-3.2.2-1`.
    - The value of `provides` becomes `ruby_32`.
    - Packages that depend on `ruby_26` will no longer be installable.
5. Rebuild `ruby-*` subpackages.
    - The rebuild adds `depends: ruby_32` to the hint.
