[Rubygems-developers] index_gem_repository problem

[Steve Conover]

Zero-length files did it but a bunch of others did too.  I threw a
begin-rescue around that block and printed out all the gems I get
exceptions from.  Perhaps it's the place I rsync'ed from?  I did the
following:

rsync -av rsync://rubyforge.lauschmusik.de/gems/ .

I'm on ubuntu dapper using ruby 1.8.4.  I've rsync'ed a couple times
and had the same results.

Thanks for your help.  -Steve
