Package: rails
Version: 2.0.2-2
Severity: grave
Tags: patch
Justification: renders package unusable
Since I upgraded to ruby 1.8.7 from sid, my rails applications started
to break. The problem is that the core extension in activesupport in
2.0.x are not compatible with ruby 1.8.7.
To reproduce you can run the activesupport unit tests with ruby 1.8.7
installed.
I backported change f67b070facef6574df3c4386e3975242273fe456 from
upstream's git repo ("edge rails") to 2.0.2, and AFAICT everything works
now (e.g. activesupport unit tests all pass, and my applications work
again). Follows the patch attached.
Cheers,
