Fyi: RubyGems patched to support module-based VERSION strings

Jason, fyi:

Eric H. just applied my patch to RubyGems to better support
module-based VERSION strings.

[#24392] support module-based VERSION strings
http://rubyforge.org/tracker/?func=detail&atid=577&aid=24392&group_id=126

It will be in RubyGems 1.3.2

I was using this for of VERSION coding which is similar to what you
are using in RedCloth and had some trouble with my jnlp gem (which I
can’t remember right now).

module Jnlp #:nodoc:

VERSION = ‘0.0.3’

module VERSION
MAJOR = 0
MINOR = 0
TINY = 3
STRING = [MAJOR, MINOR, TINY].join(‘.’)
class << self
def to_s
STRING
end
def ==(arg)
STRING == arg
end
end
end
end

Sounds great! Thanks for figuring it out and submitting a patch. I
hadn’t run into that particular difficulty, but I would have
eventually, I’m sure.
