Description Adam Williamson 2013-03-15 18:41:35 UTC 
It looks like syck is removed in Ruby 2.0:

http://rubysource.com/a-look-at-ruby-2-0/

Alexandria's library.rb relies on syck:

    def self.regularize_book_from_yaml(name)
      require 'syck/encoding'

It looks like we need to convert that function's use of syck to psych. And by 'we' I mean 'someone else' as I have no damn clue how to do that. I'm just an Alexandria user. Without this, it looks like Alexandria won't work on F19+. There's also a spec tweak required, ruby(abi) changed into ruby(release).
Comment 1 Adam Williamson 2013-03-15 18:42:01 UTC 
Filed downstream as upstream Alexandria development appears to be dead, and we have a ton of downstream Ruby 1.9 patches already...
Comment 2 Mamoru TASAKA 2013-03-17 06:40:09 UTC 
Someone kindfully packaged syck into gem form. I would appreciate it if you would review review request bug 922460 .
Comment 3 Mamoru TASAKA 2013-03-17 06:41:41 UTC 
Changes for alexandria (spec file) was already committed into git (not built yet: needs rubygem-syck)
Comment 4 Adam Williamson 2013-03-21 00:32:40 UTC 
Mamoru: er, per our severity definitions this is by definition 'high' for alexandria, because it prevents it being built or running. Can't really get much more severe.
Comment 5 Mamoru TASAKA 2013-03-21 02:31:18 UTC 
Then I would appreciate it if you would take review request, thank you.
Comment 6 Mamoru TASAKA 2013-03-21 02:33:45 UTC 
(Note that I also like alexandria and I want to resolve this issue as quickly as possible)
Comment 7 Adam Williamson 2013-03-21 02:37:11 UTC 
I would love to, but I'm knee deep in F19 Alpha blocker fixing at present, I don't like taking reviews I can't commit to doing promptly.

While the message "cannot load such file -- syck/encoding" needs
investigating, the reason your alexandria crashes is due to
different issue. Please split bug report for that, thank you.
Comment 14 Mamoru TASAKA 2013-09-30 06:24:10 UTC 
At least "this" issue is fixed. The message "cannot load such file -- syck/encoding" seems to come from outside alexandria, so closing this again.

Again this is the different issue so please open a new bug report
(especially because additional information is needed), thank you.
