Bug 106866 – yaml broken in ruby-1.8.3_pre2

• Status: RESOLVED FIXED
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Xavier Neys (RETIRED) 2005-09-22 00:42:11 UTC]

yaml outputs broken files since I've updated to _pre2
[ebuild   R   ] dev-lang/ruby-1.8.3_pre2  -cjk +doc +socks5 +tcltk -threads
I'm now back to _pre1

I've had many problems with corrupted yaml files but I still can't pinpoint the
problem. The best I can offer at this point to reproduce is to run the following
code on attached total.yaml. Other cases also seem to suffer from wildly
inserted '---', sometimes in the middle of a string.

require 'yaml'
y=YAML::load_file('total.yaml')
File.open("t2.yaml", File::CREAT|File::WRONLY|File::TRUNC){|f|f.puts y.to_yaml}

Then look for /doc/**/gnome-config.xml in t2.yaml and notice
'  ro: --- 232'   instead of 'ro: 232'

Thus far it seems that 1.8.3 has been underwhelming - some people are having problems on rails as well.

this problem has been fixed in 1.8.3
