Ruby is not required for mainline anymore.  I am not sure newreloc
branch is syned with mainline yet, so it may need it.  You can look up
build requirements in the INSTALL file.

Ruby is not needed. Python alone is sufficient, its devel variant is
not required.  Please look in INSTALL file.

Why do you say *not* python 3?  Did you see build failing with python
