[Ruby] [ANN] feed-normalizer 1.5.0 Released

[Patrick Minton]

Thanks, Andy!

I'm getting this error now:

  You have a nil object when you didn't expect it!
The error occurred while evaluating nil.hours
/opt/local/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/feed-normalizer-1.5.0/lib/parsers/

         /opt/local/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/feed-normalizer-1.5.0/lib/ 
feed-normalizer.rb:129:in `parse'

Hard for me to tell exactly what this is doing:

     def self.skip(parser, attribute)
       attributes = case attribute
         when :skipHours: :hours
         when :skipDays: :days
       end
       channel = parser.channel
       channel.respond_to?(attribute) &&  
channel.send(attribute).send(attributes).map { |e| e.content }
     end

But I imagine this is barfing because 'attribute' is nil -- do I have  
to catch some exception here?  I have a huge collection of feeds and  
no real way of programmatically 'guessing' if they are going to have  
certain custom fields.

Thanks again,

Patrick
