Incompatible to any halfway modern ruby version

[autarchprinceps]

The deb package says it has the following dependecy:
Dependency is not satisfiable: ruby2.0|ruby2.1|ruby2.2|ruby2.3

Even Ubuntu LTS installs ruby 2.5, but even 2.4 would not work with such a limitation, even though the surrounding installer claims 2.4 would be a supported version.

The missing 2.5 support already is discussed in #158 and there is an open PullRequest (#147) which "adds" the missing 2.5 support.

@autarchprinceps we are looking into this

I did the changes as described in the PR #147, but as I stated, that is not the issue. The deb package itself is incompatible to both the 2.5, which the PR would add and the already committed version 2.4, since it searches specifically for ruby 2.0 - 2.3. That PR will do nothing to fix the issue.

@autarchprinceps PR #147 adds Ruby 2.5 to the "supported" Ruby versions in the install script, but not to the actual codedeploy-agent script; as a result, I've opened PR #172 to address this issue. But, as you mentioned correctly, the deb packages provided via S3 do have dependencies included that can't be satisfied on newer Debian/Ubuntu distribution versions, as they don't provide any of the older, but codedeploy-agent-supported Ruby versions anymore.

If you're using Ubuntu 18.04, feel free to try this method as a temporary solution.

I don't want to sound rude but just how long does it take to "look at this"? CodeDeploy feels very unmaintained at times. I guess we should complain directly through our TAM but I wish you'd take support of Ubuntu a little bit more seriously. It's been -4- months since 18.04 was released.

@apenney we are looking at it, But there have been more pressing issues we are trying to work on. But rest assured we will be looking at this .

@rohkat-aws This isn't some random community project. We are paying for this through our AWS bills, which we definitively have, otherwise we wouldn't be interested in this. If you lack the manpower required, ask your superiors, AWS is more than successful enough to employ enough people.

CodeDeploy officially supports Ruby 2.5 and Ubuntu 18.04 through 1.0.1.1597 release. Closing this issue.
