02:27 <jalcine> making a gem, anything to avoid as a new gem maker

02:29 <ddd> just follow the basic rules in the docs on rubygems.org and you should be good. all the rest is just "don't make common ruby mistakes"

02:30 <ddd> and check your gem name first on rubygems.org to make sure its not taken. first come first serve so to speak

02:42 <jalcine> ddd: awesome, thanks

02:42 <jalcine> first resolution's to make a gem

05:01 <ddd> HAPPY NEW YEAR!

09:15 <pipecloud> While working on getting rubygems.org to work on ruby 2.1 and 2.0, I've seem to hit a problem. the gem archives in test/gems/dos* are being used in test/unit/pusher_test.rb and they return StringIO objects. I've called #read on them prior to passing them Cutter.new, but I'm out of my understanding when they complain about "string contains null byte". I'm

09:15 <pipecloud> curious about what I should change, but more curious about how they pass currently.

09:16 <pipecloud> I'm going to be checking into 1.9.3 and seeing how it works there and hopefully that'll give me some more information.

09:24 <pipecloud> Where's sj26 when you need him? :(

09:34 <pipecloud> I doubt it has anything to do with marshalling like in https://groups.google.com/forum/#!msg/ruby-core-google/eMLd2MgOnVU/OedFMqUOcuEJ which drbrain_ commented on, but I guess I'll keep digging.

19:51 <dp> it seems that the YAML gem defaults times without a timezone to UTC. Is there a way to change this?
