Raggle

Question

There is a commandline RSS reader that I am very fond of called raggle. After the ruby upgrade, however, it broke entirely. It was never redone for the newer version of ruby, so I have been keeping back ruby and ruby-ncurses in my /etc/pacman.conf. I saw an upgrade to raggle today and assumed it would work with the latest versions of these two packages in the repositories. I uncommented the lines, updated all three, and ran raggle.

$ pacman -Qi raggle ruby ruby-ncurses | grep Version
Version        : 0.4.4-6
Version        : 1.9.1_p378-1
Version        : 1.2.4-1
I would appreciate any help to get this working, otherwise I will have to fall back to the older versions.

Answer 1

The syntax has changed slightly in the new version of Ruby (1.9).
A colon is no longer accepted in "case" statements, you must use either "then" or ";" instead.
For example, replace:
when 'amp': '&'
with:
when 'amp' then '&'
