Permissions incorrect in safe_yaml-0.9.2.gem

[josephholsten]

In the last release of the gem, the lib/safe_yaml.rb file has mode 640. This makes it unreadable (thus unusable) by normal users when installed by root as a system gem.

What?! Ugh, how did I let that happen? Embarrassing.

I will fix this later today. Unfortunately I'm on vacation in Croatia without consistent internet access at the moment.

In the meantime I guess the only option for users installing SafeYAML as a system gem is to manually repair the permissions :(

[josephholsten]

It happens! Oddly enough, the modified date of the file is 1969-01-01 also. Something funky happened.

OK, this should be fixed in version 0.9.3 (kinda weird to create a new version just for file permissions, but that seemed the most expedient solution to me).

[josephholsten]

Can you also yank 0.9.2? If there are no other changes in 0.9.3 than permissions, there should be no reason to continue having folks use it.

[dtao]

@josephholsten Agreed—done.
