👣 How will this project approach the September 2025 hostile takeover of RubyGems? 🚑️

I've summarized my thoughts in this blog post.

🌻 Synopsis Galtzo FLOSS Logo by Aboling0, CC BY-SA 4.0 ruby-lang Logo, Yukihiro Matsumoto, Ruby Visual Identity Team, CC BY-SA 2.5

kettle-rb is the small shared Ruby library for the kettle-dev toolchain.

Its first public responsibility is Kettle::Rb::CompatMatrix: a single source of truth for Ruby engine compatibility data used by kettle-jem, kettle-dev, and related release/template tooling. The matrix records MRI, JRuby, and TruffleRuby versions, workflow Ruby buckets, RubyGems/Bundler policy, Rails appraisal hints, and RuboCop LTS selection data.

Use it when tooling needs to answer questions like:

  • Which Ruby workflow should represent this engine?
  • Which RuboCop LTS family matches a minimum supported Ruby?
  • Which rubocop-rubyN_N gem and rubocop-lts branch belong together?
  • Which Rails appraisal version is the newest stable target for a Ruby bucket?

Compatibility

Compatible with MRI Ruby 1.8.7+, and concordant releases of JRuby, and TruffleRuby. CI workflows and Appraisals are generated for MRI Ruby 2.4.0+. This test floor is configured by ruby.test_minimum in .kettle-jem.yml and may be higher than the gem's runtime compatibility floor when legacy Rubies are not practical for the current toolchain.

✨ Installation

Install the gem and add to the application's Gemfile by executing:

bundle add kettle-rb

If bundler is not being used to manage dependencies, install the gem by executing:

gem install kettle-rb

⚙️ Configuration

kettle-rb has no runtime configuration. The compatibility matrix is packaged with the gem and exposed as immutable data.

Tooling that needs local, unreleased kettle-dev siblings should use normal Bundler/Gemfile wiring through KETTLE_RB_DEV; do not alter $LOAD_PATH. For example, downstream kettle gems can resolve a local checkout with:

KETTLE_RB_DEV=/home/pboling/src/my/kettle-dev bundle install

After changing matrix data, update this gem first, release it, then bump the consumer dependency floors in gems such as kettle-dev and kettle-jem.

🔧 Basic Usage

Require the library:

require "kettle/rb"

Look up an engine or Ruby entry:

entry = Kettle::Rb::CompatMatrix.entry("truffleruby-34.0")

entry.ruby          # => "truffleruby-34.0.1"
entry.engine        # => "truffleruby"
entry.mri           # => "3.4"
entry.workflow_ruby # => "3.4"

Select generated workflow behavior:

Kettle::Rb::CompatMatrix.engine_workflow("truffle")
# => "truffleruby"

Kettle::Rb::CompatMatrix.workflow_ruby_floor("truffleruby-23.1")
# => "3.1"

Select RuboCop LTS template data:

Kettle::Rb::CompatMatrix.rubocop_template_tokens(Gem::Version.new("3.2"))
# => ["\"~> 24.2\", \">= 24.2.0\"", "rubocop-ruby3_2", "\"~> 3.0\", \">= 3.0.6\""]

Kettle::Rb::CompatMatrix.rubocop_lts_branch_for_gem("rubocop-ruby3_2")
# => "r3_2-even-v24"

🦷 FLOSS Funding

While kettle-dev tools are free software and will always be, the project would benefit immensely from some funding. Raising a monthly budget of... "dollars" would make the project more sustainable.

We welcome both individual and corporate sponsors! We also offer a wide array of funding channels to account for your preferences. Currently, Open Collective is our preferred funding platform.

If you're working in a company that's making significant use of kettle-dev tools we'd appreciate it if you suggest to your company to become a kettle-dev sponsor.

You can support the development of kettle-dev tools via GitHub Sponsors, Liberapay, PayPal, Open Collective and Tidelift.

📍 NOTE
If doing a sponsorship in the form of donation is problematic for your company
from an accounting standpoint, we'd recommend the use of Tidelift,
where you can get a support-like subscription instead.

Open Collective for Individuals

Another way to support open-source

I’m driven by a passion to foster a thriving open-source community – a space where people can tackle complex problems, no matter how small. Revitalizing libraries that have fallen into disrepair, and building new libraries focused on solving real-world challenges, are my passions. I was recently affected by layoffs, and the tech jobs market is unwelcoming. I’m reaching out here because your support would significantly aid my efforts to provide for my family, and my farm (11 🐔 chickens, 2 🐶 dogs, 3 🐰 rabbits, 8 🐈‍ cats).

If you work at a company that uses my work, please encourage them to support me as a corporate sponsor. My work on gems you use might show up in bundle fund.

I’m developing a new library, floss_funding, designed to empower open-source developers like myself to get paid for the work we do, in a sustainable way. Please give it a look.

📌 Versioning

This library follows Semantic Versioning 2.0.0 for its public API where practical. For most applications, prefer the Pessimistic Version Constraint with two digits of precision.

For example:

spec.add_dependency("kettle-rb", "~> 0.0")
📌 Is "Platform Support" part of the public API? More details inside.

Dropping support for a platform can be a breaking change for affected users. If a release changes supported platforms, it should be called out clearly in the changelog and versioned with that impact in mind.

To get a better understanding of how SemVer is intended to work over a project's lifetime, read this article from the creator of SemVer:

🤑 A request for help

Maintainers have teeth and need to pay their dentists. After getting laid off in an RIF in March, and encountering difficulty finding a new one, I began spending most of my time building open source tools. I'm hoping to be able to pay for my kids' health insurance this month, so if you value the work I am doing, I need your support. Please consider sponsoring me or the project.
