Subject: [ruby-core:51809] [Backport93 - Backport #7764] REXML -- Malformed comment


Issue #7764 has been updated by kou (Kouhei Sutou).


There is a workaround for the problem.

The problem is caused by a line that ends with "-" in comment. In your XML, there is a problem line at 163:

     | the build process. Profiles provided in the settings.xml are intended to provide local machine-

If you put " " (a space) after "machine-", the problem can be avoided. ("machine-" -> "machine- ")

Line 74 of install.rb is:

doc = REXML::Document.new(File.new('settings.xml'))
