0.2.0 breaks major operating systems

[tobias-urdin]

The 0.2.0 release requires ruby >= 2.3.0 which some major operating systems such as CentOS 7 does not provide. CentOS is usually behind a bit on versions, is >= 2.3.0 really required or can it be lowered?

A lot of things will have to to pin 0.1.1 like I did right after this release.

Ruby 2.2 is EOL status. I gave up to support its version. I understood that CentOS still uses the old version of Ruby. But It's out of the scope of our support responsibility.

PS. I'm wondering what you declare net-telnet to your Gemfile without using net/telnet in puppet-openstack_spec_helper.

[tobias-urdin]

Ok I understand, so I guess we'll just keep it pinned so that we can support CentOS.
net/telnet is not explicitly used in puppet-openstack_spec_helper but in one of it's dependencies which causes it too fails, as the output above, the spec helper is just a simple gem that handles dependencies for our CI jobs.

Thanks for replying.
