Ruby

Bug #1978

Updated by jeremyevans0 (Jeremy Evans) over 5 years ago

=begin 
  
  When I build Ruby 1_8_6 from a git checkout logger.rb crashes because it operates on a string that it expects to be expanded when the sources are checked out with Subversion. 
 
  This is a problem when building Ruby from source when cloned from a git repository such as: git://github.com/rubyspec/matzruby.git. 
 
  Without this fix logger.rb:174 throws this error: 
 
    private method `chomp' called for nil:NilClass (NoMethodError) 
 
  The problem occurs because line 173 looks something like this in the source when checked out with subversion: 
 
    id, name, rev = %w$Id: logger.rb 11708 2007-02-12 23:01:19Z shyouhei $ 
 
  but it looks like this when checked out with git: 
 
    id, name, rev = %w$Id$ 
 
  I haven't looked yet but I suspect this is a problem in 1_8_7 and the 1_9 series.  
 
  If logger.rb hasn't changed then this patch should work for those branches also.
