Package: python-syck
Version: 0.42-5
ydump doesn't escape asterisks correctly. Asterisks are used by YAML to
indicate aliases, so if you have a text string that starts with an
asterisk, it needs to be escaped.
What ydump does currently (wrong):
>>> ydump.dump('*YAML*')
'--- *YAML*\n'
(I'm not sure this is even valid YAML. It certainly doesn't mean 'the
string "*YAML*".)
The correct output should be something like: '--- "*YAML*"\n' (there are
probably several correct ways to escape it).
(This is especially nasty because Syck crashes if you try to use an
alias that hasn't been defined, and *YAML* looks like an alias to it.)
