hot-backup.py not working
Hi,
This issue was discussed on this list some time ago, but it did not come
to a solution (at least I did not found any in the list archive).
I have this problem, while running:
- SVN version 1.0.5 using the latest hot-backup.py
- Windows NT or XP (makes no difference)
- Python 2.3.3
C:\x\svn_test>hot-backup.py test backup
Beginning hot backup of 'test'.
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "hot-backup.py", line 97, in ?
youngest = string.strip(stdout_lines[0])
IndexError: list index out of range
Any idea what is going wrong?
Best Regards
Norbert Unterberg

There is a problem when running 'svnlook' in the script. Try running it
by hand (svnlook youngest /path/to/repos), and you'll see the error.
Fix the error, and the hotbackup should work.
IMO that script really needs a better error message.

If I remember correctly, the script gives this error when the target
directory (in your case "backup") doesn't exist. *Maybe your problem is
another, I'm not sure.
