Description John Khvatov 2009-10-14 12:39:47 UTC
Description of problem:
rdiff-backup says:
/usr/lib/python2.6/site-packages/rdiff_backup/SetConnections.py:148: DeprecationWarning: os.popen2 is deprecated.  Use the subprocess module.
  stdin, stdout = os.popen2(remote_cmd)

I have a patch to change it. I'll try to submit it to upstream.

Scratch build with my patch:
http://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/taskinfo?taskID=1745836

I tested it. It works.

Thanks. 

Upstream is usually pretty responsive to these kinds of patches... if you could get them to apply that would be lovely.

This bug appears to have been reported against 'rawhide' during the Fedora 12 development cycle.
Changing version to '12'.

I can carry this patch in the Fedora package, but have you tried submitting it upstream?

If not, I can submit it there as well if you like...

Comment 6 John Khvatov 2009-12-29 12:22:35 UTC
I added a comment to an existing bugreport long ago:
https://savannah.nongnu.org/bugs/?26064
But the patch is not accepted in the mainline.

Feel free to submit my patch another way.

Comment 7 Kevin Fenzi 2010-01-02 21:14:01 UTC
I commented on that savannah bug, if that doesn't work I will try the mailing list. 

The patch works fine here, BTW.

Comment 8 Kevin Fenzi 2010-03-21 03:19:47 UTC
I've commited the patch in rawhide:

http://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/taskinfo?taskID=2065509

I don't think it's worth pushing out to stable releases for just that fix, but will push it out next time there is some reason to update stable releases. 

Thanks for the patch and your patience.
