Guys,
I'm using yum-createrepo 0.9.8-3 on from AUR and suddenly my createrepo updates on my Arch server are failing with the following error:
23:22 nirvana:/home/backup/rpms> sudo createrepo --update -d openSUSE_11.3/ File "/usr/share/createrepo/genpkgmetadata.py", line 189 print thing ^ SyntaxError: invalid syntax
Not bug, change. Print is now a function in Python 3, i.e. one has to use print(thing) instead of the previous form. http://docs.python.org/release/3.0.1/whatsnew/3.0.html Most likely either change the call in beginning of the script to python2 instead of python, or roll up the sleeves and start converting to the new version (python 2to3 should help http://docs.python.org/library/2to3.html ) Cheers, Greg
