[Rake-devel] [PATCH] safe_ln

[Assaph Mehr]

Hi,

Am using ruby 1.8.4 on WinXP through the OneClick installer (RC 1
build). I came across an issue with Rake's PackageTask using safe_ln.
It appear that ln now throws a NotImplemented error on Windows, rather
than an Errno. This fixes it:

     else
       begin
         ln(*args)
-      rescue Errno::EOPNOTSUPP, Errno::EXDEV
+      rescue Errno::EOPNOTSUPP, Errno::EXDEV, NotImplementedError
         LN_SUPPORTED[0] = false
         cp(*args)
       end

I haven't done a full scale investigation, I just saw the error and
the fix seems obvious and trivial. If you need me to carry out more
tests just let me know.

Cheers,
