Hi,

rbbr is looking for a rbbr/config.rb module which is non-existent…
(not in the tarball)

[waisun@caspar waisun]$ rbbr
/usr/lib/ruby/site_ruby/1.8/rbbr/ui/gtk.rb:26:in require': No such file to load -- rbbr/config (LoadError) from /usr/lib/ruby/site_ruby/1.8/rbbr/ui/gtk.rb:26 from /usr/lib/ruby/site_ruby/1.8/rbbr/ui.rb:35:in require’

from /usr/bin/rbbr:21

Did you install rbbr as follows?

$ruby install.rb config
$ruby install.rb setup #-> create lib/rbbr/config.rb
(su)
$ruby install.rb install

Thanks.
Masao.

Hi,

How did you install ruby-gnome2 ?
And could you send me gdb’s backtrace?

BTW,
Ruby-GNOME2 is now supported only GTK±2.0.x.
I haven’t try it with GTK±2.2.x yet.
It may causes that problem.

Since the mailing list is auto-gatewayed to c.l.r, all our email
addresses are also being displayed out in hostile Usenet, openly and
nakedly.

Are there any precautions taken by the gateway program (I guess not, as
I can see my email address in any newsreader), or any being planned?

Hi,

Is this issue for Ruby-GNOME2’s CVS tree or Ruby’s CVS tree?
And after applying this changes, does rbbr-0.2 work?

Careful, you didn’t create a new thread.

AFAIR, someone - most likely Dave - acknowledged this issue a while
back, and the ambient suggestion was to mangle email addresses of ML
participants on the way to the NG.

Dave suggested someone suggest something concrete or post some code,
and the issue then lost currency.

My memory on all this is fuzzy, BTW. Anyway, I suggest that you
examine the gateway code (it’s in The Ruby Way) and post a patch.
That might get the issue taken seriously again.

BTW, if you haven’t received acres of spam in your inbox yet, don’t
worry: you will :slight_smile:

Cheers,
Gavin

Worse! It’s displayed on a web archive! And if people really want to
harvest email addresses, they can subscribe to the mailing list. Better
not post at all!

That’s true, but these are not the most efficient avenues for
harvesting. It is appropriate to worry first about the Usenet angle.

It’s worth it. That web archive is the single best source of Ruby
information in the entire world.

Not at all, it deserves rehashing. Mailing lists are supposed to be
more sanitised than newsgroups, IMO. This issue is probably just
lingering in the too-hard basket.

It doesn’t really get under my skin enough; I’ve never put a NOSPAM
(or equivalent) in my “apparent” email address - I just cop the
consequences. And my spam-filtering is good enough now.

I may need to mangle my email address manually first… :stuck_out_tongue:

Not a bad start!

This seemed plausable, but I did a survey of my incoming spam over the
past few days. 15 came directed to addresses that have only been used on
web pages, 35 to addresses I use for mailing list posts, and 3 to the
address I post to Usenet as. So I think the “Usenet is an evil harvesting
ground” meme is just a myth. It certainly used to be true, but I doubt it
is at the moment.

The other ML issue (perhaps) is that posting is not restricted to subscribers, hence the sporadic spam that turns up. Much of it
is caught by filters befire reaching subscribers, though.

Speaking of spam, I was surprised by the rejection of my email (which
contained some perl code and equivalent ruby code) on the grounds of it
being spam. I have included the response in its entire form below. I suspect
that even this email may get rejected by the ML (becuase the code is still
there ;-)).

Any way, if someone can guide me so that I won’t commit the same mistake

Someone said that Ruby can do anything that Perl does.
How would you write this Perl regex

$s =~ s/(pat1+)pat2(pat3*)/&foo($1,$2)/ge;

in Ruby?

It

  • does a global replace (/g) in one sweep
  • executes code (calls function) to create the replacement string
    (/e)
  • uses parts of the searched patterns (groupings) as parameters to
    foo

My books

  • Ruby in a Nutshell
  • The Ruby Way
    are very brief with respect to regexs and don’t give
    me a clue how to do this.
