Description Richard Scott 2009-09-10 09:14:15 UTC

Hi,

When running mirrorselect I get this error:

$ mirrorselect -s2 -D
#/usr/sbin/mirrorselect:10: DeprecationWarning: The popen2 module is deprecated.  Use the subprocess module.
  import os, time, popen2, re, shutil, signal
* Downloading a list of mirrors... Got 249 mirrors.
* Stripping hosts that only support ipv6... Removed 8 of 249
* Downloading 100k files from each mirror... [203 of 203]

* Modifying make.conf with new mirrors...
        Reading make.conf
        Moving to /etc/make.conf.backup
        Writing new make.conf
* Done.
$

Reproducible: Always

Test newer versions and if it works, file a bug for stabilization request (probably won't go for 2.0.0, try with 1.4.1 or 1.4.2). If it won't work, I'll try to make a patch replacing popen2 with subprocess.

v1.4.1 works ok :-)
