RVM gemset path separator change

[Wayne E. Seguin]

It has been brought to my attention (Evan Light) that the original
gemset separator '%' triggers a bug in URI.parse in ruby 1.9 stdlib.

Rather than attempting to change 1.9 right now I am adjusting RVM itself.

The set of characters we can use for the separator is very limited, I
have chosen '+' as default moving forward.

One benefit from this change is that it is now a tweakable setting in
your .rvmrc file:

export rvm_gemset_seperator="{:-p" # I really don't recommend you try this.

If anyone can think of a better character that will not conflict with
ruby's internal libraries and all shells out there... please let me
know :)

Thanks,

~Wayne

Hi Wayne. I've got a ton of gemsets so any sort of migration as part
of the install would be a gigantic help here if you do change the
separator.

Thanks

Shouldn't you just be able to configure it to be "%", and no migration
is needed?

or is this rvm_gemset_separator

Some old teacher drummed it into my head that "there is a rat in separate"

rvm update --head and/or install from git should do such a migration.

I wager that you would be able to guess the subject in which I
struggled with the most in grade school ;)
