- Ruby 3.1 transition
   + Could it start in unstable after 25 August (Debian import freeze in Ubuntu)?
   + Useful changelog https://rubyreferences.github.io/rubychanges/3.1.html
   + Rebuild of reverse dependencies
       - https://people.debian.org/~kanashiro/ruby3.1/
       - Only 33 build failures \o/ reasonably low number of failures
         several of them are related to the fact that Psych now uses safe_load behavior for load, and the class Gem::specification is not allowed to be parsed with psych by gem2deb.
         
                   /usr/bin/ruby3.1 /usr/lib/ruby/vendor_ruby/gem2deb/extension_builder.rb /<<PKGBUILDDIR>> debian/ruby-fusefs
		       /usr/lib/ruby/3.1.0/psych/class_loader.rb:99:in `find': Tried to load unspecified class: Gem::Specification (Psych::DisallowedClass)
         These are for packages having a metadata.yml file and a binary extension. The fix should go in gem2deb for that

- Briefly look at bugs
  There are a certain number of patterns:
      - omniauth related bugs
      - coffeescript related bugs (nanoc, ruby-hamlit, ruby-sprocket,...)
      - bugs with errors:  FTBFS: installing symlink 'XXX' pointing to parent path /usr/share/javascript/XXX of /<<PKGBUILDDIR>>/debian/ruby-jquery-atwho-rails/usr/share/rubygems-integration/all/gems/XXX is not allowed
