Description of problem: If git is missing for some reason then the user gets a quite ugly backtrace not even hinting that the actual problem is git missing. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): fedora-packager-0.5.1.0-1.fc13.noarch GitPython-0.2.0-0.1.beta1.fc13.noarch How reproducible: always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Install fedora-packager without installing git 2. fedpkg co squid 3. Actual results: Python backtrace. Expected results: Descriptive error message explaining what happened. Additional info: $ fedpkg co squid Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/bin/fedpkg", line 959, in <module> args.command(args) File "/usr/bin/fedpkg", line 409, in clone pyfedpkg.clone(args.module[0], args.user, args.path, args.branch) File "/usr/lib/python2.6/site-packages/pyfedpkg/__init__.py", line 302, in clone _run_command(cmd) File "/usr/lib/python2.6/site-packages/pyfedpkg/__init__.py", line 115, in _run_command stderr=sys.stderr, shell=shell) File "/usr/lib64/python2.6/subprocess.py", line 483, in check_call retcode = call(*popenargs, **kwargs) File "/usr/lib64/python2.6/subprocess.py", line 470, in call return Popen(*popenargs, **kwargs).wait() File "/usr/lib64/python2.6/subprocess.py", line 621, in __init__ errread, errwrite) File "/usr/lib64/python2.6/subprocess.py", line 1126, in _execute_child raise child_exception OSError: [Errno 2] No such file or directory See also Bug #619763.
Is there any use case for installing fedpkg without git being installed? I cannot think of one, so I would suggest to have the RPM package to Require: git
That's handled in a different bug. The fix here is to actually expand what errors we except when calling subprocess to include OSError. So this is a generic fix for a specific (non)problem. Fix committed and will be in the next build.
