Script could not be installed TypeError: match[2] is undefined

[Yorv]

I get the error in the subject line installing any of my userscripts.
This happened after updating GM to 0.9.8. Reverting to 0.9.7 works.

(They have no @match lines BTW.)

Linux - OpenSUSE 11.4, Fx 5 (SUSE build)

I googled that error message - others seem to be getting it - but not
many: there are examples on French and Russion forums.

Got it, thanks. IT works perfectly now.

Oh sorry, missed the details you gave. This is
https://github.com/greasemonkey/greasemonkey/issues/1391 -- downgrade
to 0.9.7 until 0.9.9 is out.

OK, thanks. My scripts all have
// @namespace

I can't remember why. I guess I couldn't decide what to put there in
the first one and have copied that ever since!

I agree that it's not very clear what the namespace is, I thought that
meant "space for your name". Now I know that this is to group scripts
together and make it possible to have several identically named scripts
that aren't overwritten on install if the namespace is different. I can
have "Remove some links" in namespace Google and "Remove some links" in
namespace "Facebook" and they peacefully co-exist.

Not quite. The namespace is basically an identifier which is unique for
the script's *author*, not the site that the script is supposed to run
on (like Google and Facebook). In most cases, the author's domain name
is used as namespace -- if the author owns one, of course.

For more information on this, see:
http://diveintogreasemonkey.org/helloworld/metadata.html ("Dive into
Greasemonkey" is outdated, but most of the information about metadata is
still valid).
