isn't that a std gem that is only required in 3.3+?

Good question.... is autorequires doing dumb things?

It's not doing totally dumb things.

• jwt added a dep on base64 (deps in gems are ruby-agnostic)
• autoreq doesn't know base64 can be resolved internally, and adds the dep
• we have to use %gemspec_remove_dep to drop that

Looking at https://stdgems.org/ then we see that Ruby 3.3 and earlier all list base64 as a default gem. https://docs.ruby-lang.org/en/master/NEWS_md.html does mention it will turn into a bundled gem.

You should use %gemspec_remove_dep base64 to drop it from the gemspec and manually add a dependency on ruby-default-gems as a rich dependency: (rubygem(base64) or ruby-default-gems < 3.4). That way we will be ready when we get to Ruby 3.4.

I am trying to capture this into the docs for future reference -- #11119
