...this means that the updateinfo for the repo. is not XML. We already do:
for event, elem in iterparse(infile):
if elem.tag == 'update':
try:
un = UpdateNotice(elem)
except UpdateNoticeException, e:
print >> sys.stderr, "An update notice is broken, skipping."
# what else should we do?
continue
self.add_notice(un)
...but we could certainly move that out to cover the iterparse too. --changelog/--security/etc. still won't _work_ (because that data is broken), but it won't traceback.
Hi James, thanks for the quick reply. It'd be nice to have such a solution. Printing something like "WARNING: changelog data won't be available, format is wrong" would clearly points users the right direction.
Technical note added. If any revisions are required, please edit the "Technical Notes" field
accordingly. All revisions will be proofread by the Engineering Content Services team.
