Comment (by hexadecagram):

 As demonstrated in my initial submission, I have ruby30 installed. If I
 continue on with the build, the package ruby wants to build 1.8.7 from
 source, which it succeeds in doing, however, the weechat build later
 fails:

 --->  Some of the ports you installed have notes:
   ruby has the following notes:
     This port is deprecated since the project is no longer maintained
 upstream. It is likely to be removed from
     MacPorts at some point in the future. If you find this port useful and
 would like to see it continue, please
     consider posting to the macports-users mailing list. See
 https://trac.macports.org/wiki/MailingLists for more
     details.

     To make this the default Ruby (i.e., the version run by the 'ruby'
 commands), run:
         sudo port select --set ruby ruby18
 }}}

 I will attach main.log if it's any consequence but the primary issue here
 is that support for ruby 1.8.7 has long since ended: https://www.ruby-
 lang.org/en/news/2011/10/06/plans-for-1-8-7/

 Therefore, this actually seems to be a problem with the ruby package but I
 figured the first step would be to make the maintainer for weechat
 (@cardi) aware, on account of the upstream issue I linked.
