Thanks to Assaph Mehr and James Britt for the heads up on the safe_ln 
issue.  I decided to just catch StandardError in safe_ln, on the theory 
that if ln fails for any reason it is probably ok to try the copy.

I have released a beta version of rake with the patched safe_ln.  If 
someone who has problems with the earlier version (i.e. James or Assaph) 
could try the beta to verify the fix, I will then release it as an update.

To get the beta:

   gem install rake --source http://onestepback.org/betagems

Thanks.

Hi Jim,

Thanks for the quick response.

Sorry, that doesn't work. NotImplementedError does not derive from
StandardError. You'll have to catch Excpetion:

irb(main):003:0> NotImplementedError.ancestors
=> [NotImplementedError, ScriptError, Exception, Object, Find,
FileTest, FileUtils, FileUtils::StreamUtils_, PP::ObjectMixin, Kernel]

irb(main):004:0> StandardError.ancestors
=> [StandardError, Exception, Object, Find, FileTest, FileUtils,
FileUtils::StreamUtils_, PP::ObjectMixin, Kernel]

Cheers,
Assaph

Ok, so Standard Error doesn't cut it.  Catching Exception *is* too much 
(it will catch things like SystemExit as well), so I'm still stuck with 
mulitple Exceptions in the rescue clause.

New version is now avialable as a beta gem from the same place:

    gem install rake --source http://onestepback.org/betagems

Thanks to both Jim and Assaph for catching the problem.  Give it another 
try guys!

Subject: [Rake-devel] [PATCH] RDocTask
Message-ID: <97db447f0604211549q43885ed1u63ab60346cc136ad@mail.gmail.com>

I recently became interested in creating a Rake task to help create
CHM documentation for the Rails project. While digging around figuring
out how I might go about doing this, I ended up making some
modifications to the RDocTask class to add support for specifying the
documentation format to be used.

I've attached a patch file that details the changes that I made. I
didn't include any test code simply becuase I wanted to find out if
this was something you'd be interesting in implementing/including into
Rake. Let me know what you think.

Thanks.
