Do we have a specific reason for 1.4.0? Either update or explain in a comment (Well, that would be at least my comment for a 'normal' package. I'm unsure how to handle this one right: It's part of the Rails-branch and I noticed there are some outdated packages. They could be outdated just because Ben started in 2016 with that (and still, there is no Rails in Guix) or there could be a specific reason for that (i.e Rails or a sub-dependency needs exactly this version). Or we just say: hey, let's just get these patches in as they were in 2016 to no longer prolonge this. We can update later).

Is it possible to use that instead of the "ext" path? Does that make sense?

Is this a general Ruby problem? I checked that randomly with ruby-unf-ext-0.0.7.1 but that is deterministic. Hm. Björn
