Backup help

["Oxley, David" <Da...@workplace-systems.plc.uk>]

My backups have started failing since upgrading to 0.17.1. Any ideas?

 

[root@spweb root]# /usr/local/subversion/bin/hot-backup.py /var/repos
/var/repos-bkup

Beginning hot backup of '/var/repos'.

Traceback (most recent call last):

  File "/usr/local/subversion/bin/hot-backup.py", line 73, in ?

    youngest = string.strip(stdout_lines[0])

IndexError: list index out of range

[root@spweb root]#

There was once a young man who, in his youth, professed his desire to become
a great writer. 
When asked to define great, he said, "I want to write stuff that the whole
world will read, stuff that people will react to on a truly emotional level,
stuff that will make them scream, cry, howl in pain and anger!" 
He now works for Microsoft writing error messages.

Did you upgrade your hot-backup.py script?  It should be using
'svnlook youngest', not 'svnadmin youngest' -- is this the case?
