Compiling from source yields syntax errors in various files due to deprecated method `File.exists`.

Found in version 0.8.0rc3

The Ruby method File.exists is no longer supported. It was changed to File.exist. Thus Rubyripper terminates on execution.

See https://ruby-doc.org/core-2.5.0/File.html#method-c-exist-3F

Hi seems a duplicate of #639, fixed in 0b8dced

Thanks to your message I applied the fix for AUR users

Will there be a new official release, so users of other distros can benefit from the updated source, too?

Hello, yes this has been fixed.
I created a new tag (rc4) that marks a new 'release'.
I hope this will help with solving your problem.
Cheers!
