In memory, this spec's instance variables look like this:
[EMAIL PROTECTED]://rubyforge.org/projects/rwdapplications/, @name=rwdtorrent, @rubyforge_project=rwdapplications, @executables=Wed Oct 05 03:00:00 UTC 2005, @cert_chain=, @rubygems_version=0.9.0, @requirements=, @has_rdoc=true, @signing_key=, @rdoc_options=, @test_files=, @files=, @platform=ruby, @specification_version=1, @version=0.04, @dependencies=, @require_paths=., @post_install_message=, @bindir=bin, @[EMAIL PROTECTED], @autorequire=, @required_ruby_version=3.2.1, @date=2005-04-16, @authors=, @description=rwdtorrent is a GUI front end for BitTorrent with rwdtinker and RubyWebDialogs features. Shell script runner, Ruby eval commands, calendar, mini calculator, @extra_rdoc_files=, @summary=rwdtorrent is a GUI front end for BitTorrent with rwdtinker and RubyWebDialogs features., @default_executable=, @extensions=} The following doesn't look right: @executables=Wed Oct 05 03:00:00 UTC 2005 I also swear I saw some other weird values in a previous debug run too that are no longer apparent. Checking http://gems.rubyforge.org/yaml and the metadata file in rwdtorrent 0.04's gem I can't see anything wrong. I'm a relative newbie to rubygems so maybe I'm looking in the wrong place? Jim or anybody else: can you help me confirm that this gem spec is OK before I continue my debugging?
