Reprise: maintaining an up-to-date dev environment

I’ve been using asdf to manage versions for the many tools I use, so for me it’s just a

asdf install ruby 3.1.3
asdf local ruby 3.1.3

But now Discourse wants 3.2.1 and asdf seems not to know about 3.2.1. How are you managing that?

asdf list all ruby|grep 3.2.1

returns nothing.

@Falco

While I can see how cool would be to have that all automatically handled, for me handling my dev environment, updates and all, is an essential part of the job.

Since your job includes benchmarking ruby versions that makes lots of sense, but don’t the vast majority of developers in and out of CDCK just need a working dev environment without needing to know what libraries are required to make imagemagick (or whatever) compile correctly?
