[DRE-maint] Bug#1086697: rails: Please package rails 7.2.x upstream version

[Santiago Ruano Rincón]

Source: rails
Severity: normal
User: debian-lts at lists.debian.org
Usertags: upstream-trixie

Hi there,

Sid and testing currently ship rails 2:6.1.7.3+dfsg-4. According to [a],
the latest upstream release, and with the longest security support is
the 7.2.x series. 7.2.x will get security support until August 9, 2026.
6.1.x.y is not listed as currently supported (only 7.0.x, 7.1.x and
7.2.x are part of the list), and I am failing to find its actual
security support status.

From what I can read then, it would be great to have 7.2.x packaged for
trixie, so it can benefit from the latest security support from upstream
during the trixie lifecycle.

Any thoughts?

Cheers,

P.S. I am adding a debian-lts at l.d.o usertag since, as discussed with the
LTS team, we believe packaging upstream versions with the longest
support is the kind of tasks we could help to tackle.
