Summary: gem build should force standard date format in metadata file
Initial Comment:
**Description:**
When building a gem the date format used on my OS X machines is incompatible
with the date format used on my Ubuntu 10.10 virtual machines.
OS X uses the following format:
date: 2011-05-13 00:00:00.000000000Z
Where as on Ubuntu the date format is:
date: 2011-05-13 00:00:00 Z
**Error message on Ubuntu (but not OS X):**
Invalid gemspec in
[/usr/local/ruby/lib/ruby/gems/1.9.1/specifications/osx_vs_ubuntu-0.0.1.gemspec]:
invalid date format in specification: "2011-05-13 00:00:00.000000000Z"

from /usr/local/ruby/lib/ruby/site_ruby/1.9.1/rubygems.rb:1182:in `gem'
from /usr/local/ruby/bin/rake:18:in `<main>'
**Steps to replicate:**
Create a gem app:
$ bundler gem osx_vs_ubuntu
$ cd osx_vs_ubuntu
$ git add .
$ git commit -am "initial commit"
Edit gemspec file setting: authors, email, summary, and description.
Build the app on OS X machine:
$ rake build
Copy gem to an Ubuntu machine.
Install gem on Ubuntu machine.
$ gem install osx_vs_ubuntu-0.0.1.gem
Invalid gemspec in
[/usr/local/ruby/lib/ruby/gems/1.9.1/specifications/osx_vs_ubuntu-0.0.1.gemspec]:
invalid date format in specification: "2011-05-13 00:00:00.000000000Z"
ERROR: While executing gem ... (NoMethodError)
undefined method `name' for nil:NilClass
**Work arounds**
* Build the gem on an Ubuntu machine.
* Uncompress the gem file, uncompress the metadata file, edit the metadata file
to use Ubuntu format, recompress metadatafile, recompress gem file.
Hardcoding the date format in the gemspec file to the Ubuntu version does not
help. The date is redone when the gem is built.

Looks like a dup of bug #29181. FWIW it's not Ubuntu vs MacOS, it looks like
it's Ruby 1.9.2p180 vs Ruby 1.9.2p0 (or thereabouts). Can you do a "ruby -v" on
each of your boxes to confirm my hypothesis?
