I did a bit of debugging on this, and it looks like for this case, the culprit is yaml instead.
This is what I did:
* patched the gem2deb code to _not_ delete metadata.yml
diff --git a/lib/gem2deb/gem2tgz.rb b/lib/gem2deb/gem2tgz.rb
index d03452f..aac5162 100644
--- a/lib/gem2deb/gem2tgz.rb
+++ b/lib/gem2deb/gem2tgz.rb
@@ -101,7 +101,7 @@ module Gem2Deb
f.puts "#########################################################"
f.puts(gemspec.to_ruby)
end
- FileUtils.rm_f('metadata.yml')
+ #FileUtils.rm_f('metadata.yml')
end
FileUtils.rm_f('metadata.gz')
end
* Now, I have the metadata.yml - I just wrote a snippet of code to check the
behaviour of gemspec w.r.t metadata file
Here it is:
```
require 'yaml'
gemspec = YAML.load_file('metadata.yml')
File.open('out', 'w') do |f|
f.puts(gemspec.to_ruby)
end
```
--- NOTE: I'm attaching metadata.yml with this email in case it helps ---
* Now I run it, and check the type of file "out" is
$ file out
out: data
while in principle, it _really should_ have been ASCII/txt (tried with a couple
more ruby gems, and that is the type I get)
* Now, the metadata.yml has the same entry ("- lib") repeated twice in the
'require_paths' field. When I comment one of them, and run the snippet
again, I get:
$ file out
out: ASCII text, with very long lines
So my guess is that the same entry repeated twice is messing with
gemspec, removing which it works well.
