YJIT Support in Ruby Lost in Ubuntu 24

Just upgraded my build environment from Ubuntu 20 to 24 and it seems that the ruby installation has lost support for the Ruby Just In Time (RJIT) compiler which I had enabled via a environment variable: RUBY_CONFIGURE_OPTS=--enable-yjit. A shame ‘cause this speeds up Jekyll builds considerably! Would love if you brought back support for it :grin:

I’ve asked the devs if this was intentional.

I’ll take the radio silence to mean it wasn’t intentional but isn’t a high priority for them to fix because the number of us using the feature isn’t that large?

That’s correct. I’ve filed a PR for this now, waiting for the devs to review it.

This should now be fixed.

Sorry, the devs mentioned:

It seems I have to revert this change so the system can be stable over the holidays, I can take another swing at it afterwards
