From: "hsbt (Hiroshi SHIBATA) via ruby-core" Date: 2026-10-07T06:46:54+00:00 Subject: [ruby-core:126949] [Ruby Feature#22402] Drop support for Darwin on PowerPC Issue #22402 has been updated by hsbt (Hiroshi SHIBATA). Status changed from Open to Assigned Assignee set to hsbt (Hiroshi SHIBATA) At the DevMeeting on October 7th, nobody objected to this removal. I will merge https://github.com/ruby/ruby/pull/19183. ---------------------------------------- Feature #22402: Drop support for Darwin on PowerPC https://bugs.ruby-lang.org/issues/22402#change-119344 * Author: hsbt (Hiroshi SHIBATA) * Status: Assigned * Assignee: hsbt (Hiroshi SHIBATA) ---------------------------------------- I propose to end support for Darwin on PowerPC, that is, Mac OS X on PowerPC Macs. This is not a proposal to drop PowerPC in general. IBM POWER on Linux (`powerpc64le`, tested on rubyci) and AIX are not affected. The last Mac OS X release for PowerPC Macs is 10.5, released in 2007, and no CI covers it. The code for this platform includes `coroutine/ppc`, `coroutine/ppc64` and the PowerPC branches under `__APPLE__`. A few people still maintain it (https://github.com/ruby/ruby/pull/8810, https://github.com/ruby/ruby/pull/18773), but I think it is time to stop carrying it. Because PowerPC Macs stop at 10.5, the same change also raises the minimum Mac OS X version checked by `configure` to 10.6. Macs running 10.6 or later are not affected. https://github.com/ruby/ruby/pull/19183 -- https://bugs.ruby-lang.org/ ______________________________________________ ruby-core mailing list -- ruby-core@ml.ruby-lang.org To unsubscribe send an email to ruby-core-leave@ml.ruby-lang.org ruby-core info -- https://ml.ruby-lang.org/mailman3/lists/ruby-core.ml.ruby-lang.org/
