[DRE-maint] Bug#704249: package unusable with Wheezy default Ruby version

[Cédric Boutillier]

Control: severity -1 serious
Control: tags -1 -patch

Hi,

This bug makes this package completely unusable with the default Ruby
version shipped with Wheezy. It is therefore release critical.
(other packages, like ruby-opengl/libopengl-ruby1.9.1 had bugs of this
kind with similar or higher severity).

The patch attached above allows ruby-fusefs to be loaded without error.
However, I tested it with gitfs and it gives empty directories with
ruby1.9.1.
With yamlfs shipped in /usr/share/doc/ruby-fusefs/examples, there are
scrambled files which make fusefs close the connection when one tries to
read them.

Ubuntu has a patch which does not provides better results
http://patches.ubuntu.com/r/ruby-fusefs/ruby-fusefs_0.7.0-2ubuntu1.patch


In absence of working patch for Ruby 1.9, a possibility would be to
change in debian/control 

- XS-Ruby-Versions: all
+ XS-Ruby-Versions: ruby1.8

and add in the long description that this package will work only with
Ruby 1.8.

Cheers,

Cédric
