prepare_ruby_packages is a wrapper that prepares Ruby packages:
$ prepare_ruby_packages --help
Usage: prepare_ruby_packages [-c|--cowbuild] [-u|--upload] [(-d|--distros) $distros] [-l|--latest] <ppa_address> <debian_version> <email>
Downloads the latest stable Ruby versions, packages them, and uploads them.
Requires `prepare_ppa_package` to be in the same directory as this file.
Example: prepare_ruby_packages --cowbuild --upload --distros bionic ppa:saverio/ruby-test-4 sav1 [email protected]
