(In reply to comment #0) Hi Mike, Could you please be more specific? Under what circumstances it bites you? The Encoding class is not defined by default in Ruby 1.8.7, so it should use the "else" branch and works just fine IMO. This request was evaluated by Red Hat Product Management for inclusion in the current release of Red Hat Enterprise Linux. Because the affected component is not scheduled to be updated in the current release, Red Hat is unable to address this request at this time. Red Hat invites you to ask your support representative to propose this request, if appropriate, in the next release of Red Hat Enterprise Linux. I am not able to reproduce this issue and no additional info was provided in year. I am closing this ticket as "WORKSFORME". Please feel free to reopen this ticket if you have more information. |
Description of problem: The rubygems package seems to conflict with the version of ruby that is provided in RHEL6. In /usr/lib/ruby/site_ruby/1.8/rubygems/source_index.rb, "File.read file_name, :encoding => 'UTF-8'" is used in the load_specification() method, but IO.read() in Ruby 1.8.7 does not support the passing of the :encoding hash. Here is the code snippet: def load_specification(file_name) return nil unless file_name and File.exist? file_name spec_code = if defined? Encoding then File.read file_name, :encoding => 'UTF-8' else File.read file_name end.untaint And the reproducer: [mkrysiak@unixdeva16 tmp]$ touch x.rb [mkrysiak@unixdeva16 tmp]$ irb irb(main):001:0> File.read 'x.rb', :encoding => 'UTF-8' TypeError: can't convert Hash into Integer from (irb):1:in `read' from (irb):1 from :0 It looks like this feature was added in Ruby 1.9. http://ruby-doc.org/core-1.8.7/IO.html#method-c-read http://ruby-doc.org/core-1.9.3/IO.html#method-c-read Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): ruby-1.8.7.299-7.el6.x86_64 rubygems-1.3.7-1.el6.noarch
