Re: Bug#733110: wordnet: Please migrate to Ruby 2.0/1.9

[Andreas Tille <andreas@an3as.eu>]

Hi,

Dmitry E. Oboukhov has injected some Ruby 1.8 code into the wordnet
packaging.  I personally do not speak Ruby and thus can not fix the
problem in an other way than simply droping the goldendict-wordnet
binary package (its data package is created in this way).

Since Dmitry has not (yet) respondet to this bug report I would like
to ask the Ruby team to find a patch for the problem in the build
system that fixes the following:


WARNING: sentidx.vrb format error: ["pet%2:35:00::"]
debian/wn-for-goldendict.rb:300:in `initialize': undefined method `times' for "\x01":String (NoMethodError)
        from debian/wn-for-goldendict.rb:158:in `new'
        from debian/wn-for-goldendict.rb:158:in `get_data'
        from debian/wn-for-goldendict.rb:648:in `block (2 levels) in <main>'
        from debian/wn-for-goldendict.rb:647:in `each'
        from debian/wn-for-goldendict.rb:647:in `block in <main>'
        from debian/wn-for-goldendict.rb:644:in `foreach'
        from debian/wn-for-goldendict.rb:644:in `<main>'


If I do not get any help I need to go the unfortunate route to kick
goldendict support again.

Kind regards

         Andreas.
