I don't think this is needed for index_gem_repository. I run my
betagems directory with just a single subdirectory containing the .gem
files. The index_gem_repository script generates the top level
index.html, yaml and yaml.Z files as well as the quick directory and
its subdirectories.
Your directory structure should be like this:
main_directory (this is my betagems directory here)
gem (this contains all the .gem files)
That should be sufficient. The index_gem_repository script should
generate everything else. The main_directory is where the -d option
should point.
The error is occurring because File.read(file_path, 20) is returning a
nil. "file_path" should refer to a .gem file at this point, so I
would recommend double check that all the .gem files are readable and
have good data (a zero length .gem file could possibly cause this
problem).
Hope this helps.
