| Subject: | Problem with strings ending in ':' and ' ' |
YAML:Syck doesn't seem to correctly encode strings that end with either
a ':' or a ' '
e.g Dump('a:') will give
--- a:
which is wrong as it should be
--- 'a:'
Similarly there is a problem with strings ending in space.
As a fix, either use the syck_scan_scalar from emitter.c in the Syck CVS
or apply the following patch:
--- emitter.c (revision 7113)
+++ emitter.c (revision 7249)
