Fixes #65 |
Remove the ppc64le architecture workaround that copied GNU autoconf config.guess and config.sub into yaml/ruby build tool directories. These files were needed because older autoconf couldn't identify the ppc64le (POWER little-endian) platform, but ppc64le is no longer a supported target for this release. Changes: - Remove `if ppc64le` blocks from ruby-3.3, ruby-3.4, ruby-4.0 packaging scripts - Remove config/config.guess and config/config.sub blob references from all spec files - Delete src/config/config.guess and src/config/config.sub - Update CI templates (packaging.erb, spec.erb) consistently

Summary
src/config/config.guessandsrc/config/config.sub(GNU autoconf platform detection helpers that are no longer needed)Background
The
config.guess/config.subfiles were copied into the yaml/ruby buildtool/directories on ppc64le because older versions of autoconf bundled with the build tools couldn't identify theppc64leplatform. These files contained an up-to-date copy of GNU config that recognized ppc64le.Since ppc64le is no longer a supported target for bosh-package-ruby-release (we target
ubuntu-nobleonx86_64/aarch64), this workaround can be cleanly removed.Files changed
